The door cam helps to lift and lower the door slightly as it opens and closes, reducing stress on the hinges and ensuring a tight seal.

Causes of a bad Door Cam can include wear from regular use, cracking due to excessive force when opening or closing the door, or misalignment that prevents the door from functioning properly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Cam include:

• The refrigerator door making noise when opened or closed
• Difficulty in shutting the door completely
• Increased energy consumption as the fridge works harder to maintain its internal temperature due to a poor seal
