Refrigerator Door Closure Cam
This component is available for individual purchase and should be replaced if your refrigerator door does not open or close correctly.
Designed as a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, the door closure cam is intended for use with a variety of Whirlpool refrigerators. This essential piece ensures the door operates smoothly, facilitating proper opening and closing.
Common issues leading to malfunction include degradation of the spring coil, damage to its plastic casing, or misalignment that affects the door's ability to close.
Recognizable signs that replacement is necessary include:
- Cool air escaping from the door's perimeter, potentially increasing energy usage
- Inability of the refrigerator to maintain a stable internal temperature
- Insecure door closure
This black component is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool brand, such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. It also fits select Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.
