402015A Genuine Fridge Foot Skid and Pin Kit for Fisher & Paykel Fridges E240BL E249TL E210L C270L RF240BCLW1 RF249TCLW1 E150L N210L

Part 402015A is the genuine Fisher & Paykel foot skid and pin kit for a family of F&P fridges and fridge freezers. It is listed for models such as the C190L, C270L, E120L, E150L, E210L, E240BL and E249TL, the RF120, RF210, RF240 and RF270 series, and N150, N210L and P120L cabinets. The skid and its pin form part of the support the cabinet stands on, so a missing one leaves the fridge rocking or leaning.

Why a fridge needs its foot skids

The foot skid sits under the cabinet and carries part of the fridge's weight, with the pin holding it in position. When a skid cracks, drops out during a move or loses its pin, the fridge can rock, tip forward or sit low on one corner. A cabinet that isn't level may stop the doors swinging shut by themselves and leave a gap at the door seal. Warm air getting in that way leads to frost, condensation and higher power bills. Dragging a fridge around without its skids can also scratch or gouge the floor.

Fitting the skid and pin

Empty the door shelves, unplug the fridge and have a second person help tilt it back slightly. Never lay a fridge flat on its back. Remove whatever is left of the old skid, then fit the new skid and secure it with the pin the same way as the original. Lower the cabinet gently and check it sits level side to side, with a slight lean back so the doors close on their own.

Questions about this part

How many kits do I need?

That depends on how many skids are cracked or missing. Pull the fridge out and check each corner under the cabinet, then order one kit for each damaged skid so the cabinet sits evenly again.
