• The refrigerator door seems misaligned or does not close properly.
• Increased effort needed to open or close the door.
• Unusual gaps around the door seal when closed.

The Door Closure Kit is an OEM replacement part  for Whirlpool refrigerators. The kit includes all the necessary parts to ensure your refrigerator door closes and seals properly - including two black and two white cams used for both the door and the hinge.

Symptoms of a bad door closure kit include:

• Doors not closing or sealing fully 
• Difficulty closing doors that don't latch securely
• Noticeable cool air loss around door edges
• Frost buildup indicating air leakage

It is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

• Serves as a non-electrical spacer/aligner where the original shim has worn or broken.
• Useful when cosmetic trimming or closure pieces feel loose or shift during use.

• Access location may require removing the related trim, panel, or door—refer to the appliance diagram or service manual.
• Handle small plastic parts carefully; align the shim before fastening to avoid breakage.
