Common Symptoms
- The center flap stays folded, binds, or does not return to position as the door closes.
- A visible gap or poor seal occurs between the fresh-food doors.
- Moisture or condensation appears around the center-door mullion area, after accounting for normal high-humidity condensation.
- Fresh-food doors do not close smoothly because the mullion is not seating correctly.
Check Before Replacing
- With the fresh-food doors empty and unobstructed, open and close the mullion-side door and observe whether the flap lies flat with the door open and rotates when it contacts the top-center striker during closing.
- Visually inspect the mullion for cracks, looseness, damaged hinge areas, or binding; do not force the flap.
- Check that the opposing door gasket is clean, undamaged, and contacting the mullion evenly when both doors are closed.
- Check for door misalignment, obstructions, or a damaged/misaligned striker or door support before attributing a sealing issue to the mullion assembly.
Pro Tip
Condensation on an articulating mullion alone does not prove the assembly has failed: GE notes it can occur in warm or humid conditions. First confirm that the flap rotates and seats correctly; if it does not operate properly, arrange qualified diagnosis.

ManufacturerGE Appliances
Appliance TypeRefrigerator
Primary FunctionProvides the pivoting center-door mullion surface that rotates into position when the fresh-food door closes, allowing the opposite refrigerator door to seal against it.
Installation Notes
- Disconnect electrical power before servicing the refrigerator.
- Use the model-specific service procedure for the applicable refrigerator; avoid relying on a generic screw count or connector layout.
- After installation, verify that the mullion lies flat when its door is open and rotates freely into the center sealing position when the door closes.
- Do not force the flap or modify the striker, hinges, or door gasket to compensate for a fit or alignment issue.
