240457701 - Electrolux Refrigerator Door Closer Plate

This Electrolux Refrigerator Door Closer Plate (240457701) is a genuine part designed specifically for Electrolux refrigerators, while also being compatible with Frigidaire, Gibson, Westinghouse, and Crosley models. The door closer plate, also known as a door closing cam, is mounted at the bottom of the fridge/freezer door. Its main role is to slightly elevate the door to prevent it from coming into contact with the refrigerator liner when closed, ensuring a smooth closure and preserving the integrity of both the door and the liner. This part typically requires a screwdriver and a socket set for installation, which is straightforward and can be achieved with basic tools. It's sold individually and crafted from durable plastic to offer longevity. If your refrigerator door seems to scrape against the liner, has trouble closing fully, or doesn't maintain an even alignment when shut, the door closer plate likely needs replacement. This situation ensures a proper seal is not maintained, which can impact the appliance's efficiency and cooling performance. Before purchasing, it’s critical to validate your refrigerator’s model number to guarantee compatibility with this replacement part.
