H0060852698 Genuine Vertical Mullion Beam for Haier French Door Fridge HRF520FHC

Part H0060852698 is the genuine vertical beam, or mullion, for the Haier HRF520FHC refrigerator. On French door fridges this hinged beam is attached to one door and swings into place as the door closes, giving both door seals a surface to close against in the middle.

Haier French door fridge leaving a gap or dripping in the middle?

Without the mullion, the two fridge doors would leave an open gap where they meet. As the door closes, a guide on the cabinet turns the beam into position, and its face, often warmed by a small heater, lets both door seals grip. A cracked, sagging or stuck mullion leaves that gap open, so you'll see condensation or water down the centre of the doors, frost or a warm fridge, a door alarm sounding if your model has one, or the beam catching and stopping the door from shutting.

• Vertical beam fitted to the French door
• Listed for the HRF520FHC

Fitting the mullion beam

Switch the fridge off at the wall, as many mullions carry heater wiring. Open the door and take note of the beam's orientation and spring position. Remove the hinge screws, disconnect any wiring plug, then fit the new beam and reconnect. Before restarting, close the door slowly and confirm the beam turns into place and both doors seal against it.

Questions about this part

My fridge door won't close because the mullion hits it. Do I need a new one?

Not always. First check that the mullion swings freely and its spring returns it. If the beam is cracked or bent, or its hinge is broken, replace it. A worn guide on the cabinet can cause the same problem.
