How to Install Hinge Bushing 240311303 in a Frigidaire Refrigerator
What to Do Next
Need help finding the right part for your Frigidaire refrigerator?
When to stop and reassess
Not every door problem is a bushing problem. Stop and look deeper if the door still sags after the install. Also stop if the hinge bracket looks bent, the cabinet mount looks damaged, or the door will not line up at all.
You should also pause if the refrigerator stays unstable after the door closes better. That can point to a separate cooling issue. A hinge repair helps seal the opening, but it does not fix every refrigeration fault.
If the door seal still looks uneven, inspect the gasket next. If the gasket is stiff or torn, the bushing repair may not finish the job alone. Good diagnosis keeps you from swapping parts twice.
Quick decision guide
Use this fast check before you buy time on the repair.
- If the door sags or swings oddly, the bushing is worth checking first.
- If the hinge hardware is bent, inspect the whole hinge assembly.
- If the seal is torn or hard, the gasket may be part of the problem.
- If cooling still feels weak after the door closes well, look beyond the hinge area.
That order helps you spend effort where it matters most. It also keeps you from blaming the wrong part.

Final checklist
Before you call it done, check these points:
- The door opens and closes smoothly
- The door sits flush with the cabinet
- The hinge cover is secure
- No screws are left over
- The gasket seals evenly
- The refrigerator runs normally after the repair
If all six look good, you likely finished the job well. If one looks off, go back and adjust before you move on. Small alignment fixes now can save bigger service calls later.
