So now you are asking yourself what the heck is a flipper mullion spring? Had to ask myself the same question when the spring snapped and something about how the door was closing wasn't correct. Not an expert on the French door design which I now generally dislike and would prefer having a single door again, but many French door refrigerator brands and models use the flipper piece, it has a heater inside, there's a spring that frequently breaks in use.

GE doesn't publish the part# for the spring, forces people to buy the whole flipper for $170. My first attempt at buying a spring on Amazon was a fail, second try at a smaller diameter spring was a success. Springs are sold in pairs so have a backup now.
