Selected User Reviews For Frigidaire 240457701 Door Closer Plate
A piece of plastic was found on the floor below the refrigerator door and I figured out it had to be the door closer plate or Even though I was going to let it go, the door would not always fully close without my pushing it. Therefore, I decided it was better for me to fix it than to accidentally forget and leave the fridge door partly The closer plate and the hinge were not sure if it was the closer plate or the hinge, so I ordered both so I only had to remove the door Everything needs to be removed from the fridge door. That should take 15 minutes to do. To remove the fridge door you need to remove 1 screw from the plastic cover, and 2 bolts. As soon as the door was removed, the counter was placed on top of it. As it turned out, it was a bearing hinge that had broken off, so I had to remove with pliers the part from the bottom of the door. I was able to lift the door closer plate easily, cleaned the area, applied some food-safe lubricant and it was good to go To the top of the plate surface (as well as to the bearing hinge) is high-grade silicone. Restoring the door to its original position had the effect of returning things Probably no more than ten minutes to fix it Because I would not be able to finish emptying the fridge within 15 minutes, I did not bother. In order to reduce the chance of perishable items spoiling as you work down the list, it might be a good idea to move them to a cooler instead.
The door hinge inspection helped me pinpoint that the plate that closes the door had cracked in half and was separating when the door is being opened/closed, as seen in the previous paragraph. The process took me about five minutes take the door off, pop off the old closing plate, install the new one, replace the door hinge (I read the description incorrectly, but I kept the item) and grease it up before reinstalling the door. This is the first time the door has made no sound. Glad to hear that!.
It is the right shape and appears to be the right size in the photos, but when I try to install it, the screw hole is too short, so it will not work. The problem is that it's impossible to figure out where it.

It's not clear if the problem is with the product or the refrigerator. In our fridge door, it was installed to replace the bottom cam that was noisy. I found the installation to be We now hear a louder door "clunk" when we open and close it. Upon comparing the new cam with the old cam, I notice that the edges on the new cam are very sharp which contributes to the "clunking".
As part of a repair for a refrig door that "clicked" every time the door was opened, this bearing hinge was used. The door now operates silently, as if it were brand.
It was the refrigerator door noise that was fixed.
