Carl P Northfield , NJ December 21, 2015 Fresh food door would not fully close Replaced upper and lower thimble's, lever arm, cam closure. Door stop was not the problem, but ordered it and replaced it too. The door of course has to come off, remove the top hinge, and lift it away. Lubricated moving parts with silicone spray. Be sure and put the door back in the open position, so the lever arm and cam closure can properly interact, then close the door. Remove the plastic grate at the bottom to get at the lever arm. Presto. Problem gone. Don't put excessive weight back in the door, this is what causes the problem.

Jack M Cleburne , TX July 19, 2025 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator PSS26NSTDSS Fresh food door on my ge refrigerator would not stay closed and lost good seal after a few minutes Looked at the AppliancePartsPros web site for the possible causes and ordered the parts for the most likely cause. Received the parts on the date specified and proceeded to replace the existing parts on my refrigerator. Problem solved.
