Key Features

• Left-Side Specific Orientation: Specifically engineered for the left-hand side of the refrigerator shelf to support the weight of the crisper pan or deli drawer.

Compatibility & Fitment

This pan hanger is a standard component for many brands manufactured by Electrolux/Frigidaire. Key compatible brands include:

• Frigidaire: Fits a wide range of Gallery, Professional, and standard top-freezer models.
• Kenmore: Compatible with many 253-prefix model numbers (e.g., 253.XXXXX series).
• Additional Brands: Fits Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Westinghouse, Tappan, and Kelvinator refrigerators.
• Note: This is the LEFT side hanger only. If you need the right side, you will typically need part number 240530701.

When to Replace

• Broken Plastic Tabs: The small clips that hold the hanger to the shelf have snapped off, causing the drawer to sag or fall.
• Drawer Jamming: The guide rail on the hanger is warped or worn down, making it difficult to slide the crisper drawer open or closed.
• Visible Cracking: Stress fractures in the plastic body that indicate the hanger is about to fail under the weight of stored produce.
• Misaligned Drawer: The crisper pan sits crooked in the refrigerator, preventing a proper seal and affecting temperature control for your vegetables.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: For ease of access, remove the crisper pan and the glass shelf from the refrigerator before attempting to swap the hanger.
• Removal of Old Part: PRO TIP: Locate the locking tab on the underside of the hanger. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently depress the tab while sliding the hanger toward the front or back (depending on the model) to release it from the shelf frame.
• Clean the Rail: Before snapping the new 240530601 into place, wipe down the shelf frame and the drawer glide with warm, soapy water to remove any sticky residue that could cause friction.
• Verify the Snap: When installing the new hanger, ensure you hear or feel a distinct "click." This confirms the locking tab is fully engaged and will support the weight of a full drawer.
• Test the Glide: Reinsert the crisper pan and slide it back and forth several times to ensure it moves freely without catching on the new hanger.
