WR13X10348 General Electric Refrigerator Right Side Hinge Assembly

Refrigerator Right Side Hinge Assembly

This hinge assembly is designed for GE refrigerators, including models from Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. Door hinges are crucial as they connect the door to the refrigerator, ensuring it opens and closes correctly. Without functional hinges, the door may not operate properly, potentially causing the refrigerator's contents to thaw.

Several factors can necessitate hinge replacement. Over time, normal use can wear down the hinges. Additionally, shocks to the refrigerator can damage these components. Rust can also compromise the hinges, requiring them to be replaced.

These hinges are located at the lower part of the door. To access this area, the refrigerator must be laid on its side. First, empty the refrigerator and unplug it, allowing it to rest for several hours before turning it sideways. Replacing the hinge assembly involves removing a few screws.

After installing the new hinges, it is important to let the refrigerator rest before turning it back on. This allows the refrigerant to settle properly, preventing potential damage to the compression system. Immediate activation after tilting can harm the system.

This hinge assembly is a genuine OEM product and is compatible with GE, Haier, Hotpoint, and RCA appliances.
