241688401 Refrigerator Ice Chute Assembly Compatible with Frigidaire

In this review of the 241688401 Refrigerator Ice Chute Assembly the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, low-cost replacement for a broken or worn dispenser ice chute on many Frigidaire, Electrolux and Kenmore style refrigerators. The reviewer found it best for homeowners who need a direct-fit part that restores normal ice dispensing without replacing larger door components. It installs with basic tools, arrives as a molded PVC assembly and includes silicone grease, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience - it gets the dispenser working again quickly and cheaply.

Key Features

• Broad compatibility: Fits many Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore and Crosley models so you can replace a failed chute without searching for multiple part numbers.
• Durable PVC construction: The molded plastic body resists moisture and typical freezer conditions, which helps the flap operate smoothly over time.
• Includes silicone grease: The small tube of grease helps lubricate the hinge points during installation for quieter, more reliable operation.
• Direct function restoration: Precisely transfers ice from the dispenser compartment through the door so the ice door opens and closes as intended when dispensing.
• Easy DIY installation: Designed for a homeowner repair with online video guidance, saving time and service costs compared with a technician call.

Who It's For

This replacement chute is aimed at homeowners and renters who have a compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore or related refrigerator whose dispenser flap is cracked, stuck or missing. It is especially useful for those who prefer a DIY fix and want a part that arrives ready to install with minimal additional supplies.

It is less suitable for owners of brands or models not listed among the compatible numbers, or for customers who need a full door module replacement rather than just the chute flap. If corrosion has affected surrounding metal components, a larger repair may be required.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Restores ice dispensing quickly without replacing the whole door assembly.
• Includes silicone grease to improve hinge action during installation.
• Made of durable PVC that stands up to freezer humidity.
