HI
Seen them advertized for $28 each , not only expensive and "unavailable" out of stock etc.
Anyone found a source?
Thanks

Remove hinge bushing and check at any hardware store to see if they can match.

You may be able to match the size with one of these. https://www.mcmaster.com/bushings/wa...eve-washers-6/

I replaced mine, but it's been about 4 years. I think mine is an RM??54, can't recall where I got it, but did you check Amazon? BTW, It was not fun to replace, take photos of the good one and remember the position. The thing is spring loaded. It's one of those things that you would have no problem doing it a second time, but the first was a RPIA There is a left and right, so read the reviews on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Norcold-Inc-R...s%2C147&sr=1-6

Do you have a photo? I might have a spare one, if you're talking about the freezer spring loaded bushing

If anyone has an image and some dimensions I could try to 3D print some. I just really got going with the CAD and 3D stuff. I just made new cabinet latches, water heater cover cam, and keychains.

I just replace ours and purchased these which can also be purchase by the company making them.

Or directly from iFiXiFi.com. Bruce the owner 3D prints them up and they are a stronger plastic. I would also recommend you view this Youtube video on removing and replacing the springs and removing the freezer door.

Was that the Frig door or the FZ inside the Frig. I had the outside main frig door off,I didn't see a spring,hope I didn't lose it.
So ,it's the outside main door hinge bushing I'm hunting for. I didn't relize they might be worn ,I just thought something was miss alined. The door does not drag on the bottom sill anymore, but it rocks/ torques a little at the top hinge ,it might be rocking in the bushing?
See what it looks like after we use it a little.
Thanks for the reply

Oops, my bad. Yes, that was for the freezer door. I thought you needed replacement because they do wear out.
