How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6005981 / WP2182181 Top Door Thimble

Got the Door Closer kit from you guys...took 10 minutes using a YouTube video.. Refrigerator hinge wears out much faster than freezer hinge... Door opened much more often and more stuff stored on the fridge door, so its way heavier... Lasts about 2 years 

Replaced bottom door cam and top thimble bearing. Once again your company has amazed me!!! I have used your company 3 times now and your customer service ROCK and the parts were are always at my house in two, three days tops and the parts always fit like a charm! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! 

By replacing some hard plastic bushings or 'cams' in the door hinges, Top and bottom one. 

I installed the lower cam (2 pieces). Door now closed without effort. Just remember to empty the door first. 

Replaced both door cams and the upper hinge. The upper hinge was the more difficult piece to replace since it would not spin and unlock. I had to persuade it a little. Both old cams were ground smooth and broken. The new cams raised the door 1/4 to 3/8" so the door is held in the correct position. Works like new. Overall it was an easy fix. 

I replaced the upper and lower door cams. 

Replaced both cam pieces on the bottom of the door, and the bearing at the top. All is well now, works like new. 

First I watched your video which helped tremendously. I basically did the step by step as shown on the video and it took about fifteen minutes. 

Everything was fixed perfectly 

Replaced door cams on 2004 refrigerator that were totally worn out. Watched video on the repair prior to tackling the job.
