Description

This magnet catch secures the refrigerator outer door to the inner door frame so the door stays closed and the seal engages. It helps maintain proper cooling and prevents warm air from entering the compartment. What it does:

• Holds the outer door closed by providing a magnetic latch point on the in-door assembly
• Helps maintain an effective door seal to protect interior temperature and food freshness
• Commonly replaces a worn or weak catch when the door no longer stays closed
• Can stop symptoms like doors that pop open, poor cooling near the door, or interior lights that stay on

What's included: One outer door magnet catch Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Requires basic hand tools; remove door trim or inner panel only as needed to access the catch
• Align and secure the catch so the door closes squarely and the magnet engages consistently
• Test door operation and seal after installation; do not force parts—replace any damaged surrounding trim or fasteners
