Kenmore / Sears Freezer Door Stop Or Cam Riser

The Door Closer Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This kit contains essential components for smooth refrigerator door closing: door cams and screws ensure gentle closure, proper seal, and prevent cool air leakage.

Parts in a door closer kit can wear out over time from frequent use, causing issues like improper closing, the need for extra force to shut, or failed sealing, affecting the refrigerator's cooling.

Symptoms of a bad Door Closer Kit include:

• The refrigerator door feels loose or wobbles when opened or closed
• The door does not close fully on its own or requires extra force to close
• You notice an increase in the refrigerator’s energy consumption due to cool air leaking
• Condensation or frost buildup near the door seal area due to improper sealing

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This door stop replaces the small hinge-mounted bumper that limits refrigerator door travel and helps keep the door aligned. Restores smooth closing, reduces slamming, and prevents the door from swinging past its intended range. What it does:

• Limits door rotation to prevent over-extension and damage to hinges or surrounding cabinetry
• Cushions the door to reduce noise and slamming during closing
• Helps maintain proper door alignment for a tight seal and even wear
• Useful when the original stop is worn, cracked, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance or unplug before servicing to prevent injury
• Typically installs at the hinge area with simple hand tools; keep fasteners from the original in case they are reusable
• Inspect surrounding hinge components for wear; replace any damaged parts to ensure proper fit
