Common Symptoms
- Door remains partly open after being swung shut
- Door is visibly misaligned at the hinge side
- Door does not open or close smoothly
- Door does not seal correctly after closing
- Clicking, binding, or abnormal resistance may occur near the hinge during door movement
Check Before Replacing
- With the refrigerator door empty or lightly loaded, observe whether it pivots smoothly and closes securely without assistance.
- Visually inspect the closing cam and surrounding hinge area for visible wear, cracking, deformation, or damage.
- Check whether the door is sagging or misaligned at the hinge side; compare the door position with the adjacent cabinet or opposite door.
- Confirm that the symptom is not caused by an obstruction, overloaded door, or cabinet-leveling issue before replacing the cam.
- After service, verify that the door is properly aligned, closes securely, and maintains contact with the gasket.
Pro Tip
Inspect the cam’s mating hinge surfaces and door alignment before replacement; a new cam may not correct the problem if the hinge or door is also worn or misaligned.
