241688901 - Electrolux Refrigerator Spring

This Electrolux Refrigerator Spring (241688901) is a genuine part designed for use with Electrolux refrigerators, as well as compatible with Frigidaire, Gibson, Westinghouse, and Crosley models. The spring plays a crucial role in the functioning of your appliance by providing flexible suspension, tension, sealing, electrical connections, and sensing. It is particularly essential in door hinges and latch mechanisms where it contributes to the closing force, ensuring your refrigerator's door shuts securely. The spring is also involved in maintaining electrical continuity through contact springs, isolating vibration with suspension springs, and ensuring door gaskets use spring tension for effective sealing. When springs within the refrigerator are overtaxed or break, crucial components like ice makers and latches may fail to operate as intended. It's important to replace worn springs with ones that have equivalent ratings to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your appliance. Symptoms that may indicate a failing spring include difficulty in closing the refrigerator door, unusual noises when the door is in motion, or an inability to maintain an effective seal for temperature control. Before purchasing, it's vital to verify your device's model number to ensure compatibility with this spring (241688901) to avoid interruption in the performance of your refrigerator.
