Refrigerator door was not closing properly, Bits of black plastic had been breaking off from lower hinge area.
My husband researched the possible causes on line and watched some of the videos that were posted on your site. I ordered the 2 parts which did come in 3 business days. My husband and son completed the repair in under 30 minutes. Unscrew the upper hinge assembly on the top right door, lift the door up so that the lower hinge pin is free. Remove the old worn closer plate and hinge bearing. Replace the door, replace upper hinge hardware and check alignment. (It was also a good time to do a thorough cleaning on the coils underneath the refrigerator and check the evaporator pan.)

I started hearing a loud clunking sound when I would close my refrigerator door and then eventually it stopped closing when I pushed it so I had to push it all the way closed. I searched the web site and found the parts I needed then watched a video on how to do the repair.
When my parts arrived I took a screwdriver and removed the hinge cover on the top of the refrigerator door. I then took a 3/8 drive ratchet and a 3/8 socket and removed the 2 screws on top of the fridge that hold the door hinge on( be sure to empty your door before you take the bolts out). I lifted the door out and layed it in the floor and upon inspection I found that the hinge bearing that fits inside the bottom of the door was completely broken off. I had to take a flat screwdriver and dig it out enough to grab it with a pair of pliers and pull it out. I inserted the new bearing and made sure it was all the way in then applied some petroleum jelly around it and the door closing cam. My door closing cam was still good so I didn't have to replace it. I lifted the door and placed it back in the hole on the bottom, closed the door, reinstalled the hinge on top, adjusted the door, tightened the bolts and reinstalled the hinge cover. Piece of cake thanks to the video on the web site!!! I know from now on where to go for parts I need for any of my appliances. Thanks !!!!!

When door is closed, there is a gap above the door gasket and the box. The door can be lifted to close this gap but it does not hold at this height. I do not own a socket set and cannot find the specification for the size needed for the screw holding on the door bracket at the bottom. What is the size needed and how do i determine what part is failing so i purchase just what is needed to repair the problem?
For model number FRT18S6AWU

Hi Michael, Thank you for your question. To get size specifications like that you would have to contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately they do not give us that information. However it sounds like your doors may not be level and that is why you are getting a gap. I would suggest first checking to see if your fridge itself is level. If it is, then you will have to take a look at your hinges and your bushings. It is likely that they are either broken, worn out, or unlevel. Good luck with your repair.

We have to lift up our freezer door to get it to close. A plastic piece broke off before that. Do you have the replacement piece? Thank you!
For model number TFX24JR

Hi Kristi, thank you for asking. You may need to replace the door closing cam, part number PS297995, to fix the issue. It helps the door pivot shut while keeping the door and hinge in proper alignment. We hope this solves your problem!
