The Closing Cam is an OEM component used in Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerators. It is the mechanism located on the inner refrigerator door that utilizes a rotating cam configuration to gently pull the door closed.
Causes of a damaged closing cam can include stresses from opening and closing the door many times over the years. The constant motion wears down parts through normal use.
Symptoms of a faulty cam include:
- Door not latching securely in the closed position
- Loud slamming sound instead of a soft pull to close
- Cracks, fractures or a wobbly cam shaft
This Whirlpool OEM part is also compatible for use in some KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and select Kenmore refrigerator models.
