This refrigerator is made by LG. The French Doors have a mechanical flap on the left door that engages with the refrigerator body when you close it, and seals the right door when it closes. I've included some pictures.

The flap orientation (extended versus flush) is controlled by a spring on the bottom hinge. The spring has broken loose from the body of the flap so now we have to manually hold the flap and move it into position every time we close the door, or it will strike the other door and the door won't close properly.

It looks pretty easy to replace - there are screws visible at each of the three hinges. But I need to know where to get the part and what is the part number. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Thanks Jeff, it does look a little harder than just unscrewing the hinges, it looks like the upper and lower hinges stay on the door, and the flap itself unclips from the hinge at the top and bottom in some way that isn't exactly clear to me. Are there instructions somewhere on how to remove the flap from the door?

Sorry, couldn't find anything on this.
