Refrigerator Hinge Cam

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Door Closer Kit, an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, includes key components such as door cams and screws that facilitate smooth door operation, ensuring a proper seal and preventing cool air from escaping.

Over time, parts within the door closer kit may wear out due to frequent use. This can lead to issues like the refrigerator door not closing properly, requiring extra effort to shut, or failing to seal correctly, which can impact the appliance's cooling efficiency.

Signs of a failing Door Closer Kit include:

- The refrigerator door feels loose or wobbly when opened or closed.
- The door does not close fully on its own or needs extra force to close.
- Increased energy consumption of the refrigerator due to cool air leakage.
- Condensation or frost buildup near the door seal area because of improper sealing.

This OEM part from Whirlpool is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and certain Kenmore models.

Common issues fixed by this part include:
- Refrigerator running for extended periods
- Door sweating
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door
