It is the top hinge on a door that hangs from the left, holding the top of the door in line with the cabinet. Left and right hinges are usually not interchangeable, so check which side your door hangs from and match your model number before ordering 140040616066.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge door sagging or not sealing? Check the top hinge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper hinge locates the top of the door and keeps it square to the cabinet, while the lower hinge takes most of the weight. When the upper hinge bends, cracks or its pin wears, the door can drop at the handle side, rub on the cabinet or the next door, or leave a gap at the top of the seal. Warm air getting past the seal causes frost build up, condensation on the cabinet edges, the compressor running constantly and food not staying cold. A loose hinge can sometimes be fixed by tightening its screws, but a bent or broken one needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux part number 140040616066\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper hinge, left hand side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the top of the door square to the cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits Electrolux group fridges and freezers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper, left hand side\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the upper hinge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch the fridge off at the wall and empty the door shelves to reduce weight.
