The Door Closure Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It provides balanced tension to assist the door hinges and latch mechanism in securely closing the refrigerator door. The spring helps the door shut fully while preventing it from slamming closed abruptly.  

Symptoms of a bad door closure spring include:

• The door not latching securely or remaining slightly ajar    
• Difficulty closing the door fully without assistance
• Increased thermal loss as the door does not seal tightly
• Risk of food items falling out from an open door position   

Causes of failure include metal fatigue from prolonged use. Springs can also weaken from mineral buildup over many years of repeated openings and closings. 

This OEM GE replacement spring is also compatible with models including GE, Monogram, and select Kenmore units.

• Helps align doors and drawers that hang or bind due to uneven stance
• Works as the threaded lower leg/adjuster for proper weight support

• Disconnect power and water and move the appliance to access the leveling assembly safely.
• Support the appliance with a jack or block before removing or adjusting legs to prevent tipping.
• Turn the screw with an appropriate wrench or pliers; adjust gradually and check level frequently.
• If the leg assembly includes a mounting bracket, keep fasteners secure and replace any worn hardware.
