Dacor Refrigerator Hinge Parts

The Door Closer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators.

Symptoms of a bad door closer include:

• The refrigerator door not closing or sealing properly
• The door not staying closed
• Warm air entering the refrigerator, causing the interior temperature to rise
• Increased energy consumption due to the door not sealing
