The Camshaft is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the proper operation of the refrigerator's door hinge, ensuring smooth and secure opening and closing. The camshaft helps align the door and maintains the seal, preventing warm air from entering the refrigerator.

You should replace the camshaft if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad camshaft can include wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage from impact or mishandling, and misalignment issues that stress the camshaft over time.

Symptoms of a bad camshaft include:

• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
• The door not staying closed
• Unusual noises when opening or closing the door
• Misalignment of the refrigerator door

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
