Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door remains partly open or does not close by itself
• Door is misaligned or appears to slip downward when opened
• Clicking or clunking during door movement
• Door is difficult to open or close smoothly

Check Before Replacing

• With the refrigerator door open, visually inspect the closer/cam for cracking, flattening, excessive wear, or displaced pieces.
• Slowly open and close the door and observe whether the movement is smooth and whether the door settles into the closed position.
• Check whether the door appears to sag or sit out of alignment at the hinge area.
• Compare the door’s behavior before assuming the closer is at fault; other hinge, door, gasket, or alignment problems may produce similar symptoms.
