W11188796 Whirlpool Refrigerator Closing Cam

The Refrigerator Closing Cam is a standard component found in various Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators, including brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. This part, specifically designed for the inner door of the refrigerator, features a rotating cam system that assists in pulling the door shut smoothly.

Over time, frequent use can lead to wear and tear on the closing cam, typically from the repeated stress of opening and closing the refrigerator door. This wear can eventually cause the cam to malfunction.

Indications of a malfunctioning closing cam might include the door failing to stay firmly closed, a loud slamming noise when the door is supposed to close gently, or visible signs of damage such as cracks, fractures, or instability in the cam shaft.

This OEM part is also suitable for certain models of KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore refrigerators, ensuring broad compatibility across a range of appliances.
