Understanding the Problem
On Frigidaire undercounter and built-in refrigerators like the FFCD2413US4A the door/hinge arm (sometimes called the hinge cam, door arm, or closing cam) keeps the door aligned and controls the closing action. If the plastic arm, metal hinge, or cam/bushing wears, cracks or breaks, the door can sag, fail to seal, rub on the cabinet, or remain slightly open. That lets cold air escape, increases run time, and can cause frost or moisture problems. A damaged arm may result from normal wear, overtightening, impact (bumping the door or slamming heavy items), or stripped mounting screws. The arm assembly typically mounts to the cabinet and interfaces with a cam/bushing on the door — when any of those pieces fail the door alignment and closing mechanics are compromised. Replacing the defective arm or cam/bushing usually restores correct alignment and sealing.
Common Symptoms
Door sagging or misaligned, door not closing fully or staying open slightly, visible crack or broken plastic on the hinge/arm, rubbing or scraping noise when opening/closing, cold leaks or excessive run time.
Common Causes
- Worn or broken hinge arm or plastic cam/bushing
- Stripped or loose hinge mounting screws
- Impact damage (slamming door or bumping with heavy object)

Helpful Repair Tip
Visually inspect the hinge area with the door open about 30–45°; look for cracked plastic, excessive side-to-side play, or a cam that spins freely. Prop the door and try opening/closing while watching the hinge—if the door drops or shifts as it moves the hinge/arm is the likely culprit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace the door/hinge arm myself or do I need a technician?
Yes — many homeowners can replace a hinge arm or cam with basic tools (screwdriver, socket set). Support the door while you remove the mounting screws and swap the broken parts. If the door is heavy, get a helper or use a block to support it. If the hinge mounting points are damaged, or if you’re not comfortable working with door alignment, call a technician.
How much does a hinge/arm replacement typically cost?
Parts typically range from about $15 to $120 depending on whether you buy a single cam, a hinge arm, or a full hinge kit. Labor (if you hire a technician) is commonly $100–$250 depending on travel and shop rates. Always verify OEM part numbers for the FFCD2413US4A before ordering to ensure fit.
