Product review (5 stars): An Easy Total Joint Replacement for Your Aging Fridge Door's Awful Cracking Sound
Easy replacement that stopped my refrigerator from that annoying loud BANG whenever the door was opened. TO BE SURE, replacing the other half of the hinge bearing (Frigidaire 240457702 plate-door closer ) at the same time is recommended- in my case it was actually the upper part of the lower door bearing (this part) that had cracked.
TO REPLACE the parts, simply:
1) Empty the refrigerator door food compartments.
2) With the door closed, lean against the door to keep it in place (or have a helper hold it) and remove the plastic cover on top of the hinge on the top of the fridge.(mine has a single phillips screw holding it on; then slid forward to remove)
3) Remove the two 1/4" hexhead screws that held the metal hinge bracket/pin from the top of the fridge; lift up the hinge bracket/pin from the door.
4) Lift the door off the refrigerator lower bearing, and place the door on its side on a soft mat so the lower hinge bearing is accessible. Pull out the plastic lower bearing (Frididaire 240328203) and replace with new one.
5) Unscrew and remove and replace the 240457702 plate-door closer from the lower hinge pin on the fridge.
6) Replace the door, lowering it onto the hinge pin/bearings.
7) Replace the upper hinge bracket/pin, the hex head screws, then replace the bracket's plastic cover and screw.

Note the part numbers may vary some, but the pictures should be the same. This lower hinge bearing setup apparently holds for several manufacturers.
