Manufacturer Part Number: WR2X4901

The Cam Riser is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the door mechanism, helping to lift and align the door as it opens and closes. This ensures the door operates smoothly and maintains a proper seal, which is essential for the efficient functioning of the refrigerator.

Over time, the cam riser can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad cam riser can include frequent use, physical damage from heavy door loads, or general wear and tear of the plastic components.

Symptoms of a bad Cam Riser include:

  • Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door
  • The door not staying aligned or sealing properly
  • Unusual noises when operating the door

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Nikki for Model Number TFX20KLL

I ordered 2 refrigerator parts from y’all last week and received them right away. The gasket- (part # WR24X463) was the wrong size and it is supposed to be arriving shortly. (Order # 4279343) The problem I’m having is with the cam door riser-(part # WR2X4901). It looks like on your parts "list" page there are plastic and or metal ones? There is nowhere to specify in the ordering process-which one is preferred. I (unfortunately) received a plastic one and it is already disintegrating. Tiny black pieces all on the floor under the door. I also (mistakingly) thought I’d be getting 2 in the package. I’d like someone to contact me or just send me 2 metal cam risers for my GE model TFX20KLL (fresh-food-side) refrigerator door.

Nikki, Unfortunately there are no metal cam risers that are designed for this model of refrigerator. The cam riser that you received was just for the piece that was on the door. It may be beneficial if you were to get the lower hinge assembly which has the lower and upper cam for the unit. This way the parts match up and will work properly. The part number for the hinge is WR13X10020.

Hello C.J.T., While it depends on the model you have, the most likely cause is a sticky residue in the switch and linkage area of the dispenser caused by ice being dispensed into sticky drinks such as soda, kool-aid, and tea. This is such a common issue that the manufacturer recommends to dispense the ice into an empty cup and pour the ice into the drink over the sink. If you would like a more specific diagnosis, post the issue with the model number from the units' I.D. tag and we can certainly oblige.

Steve, This issue would be most likely be caused by the Cam riser. The shim goes under the cam.

Bob, Once you have the door off and flat, there should be a screw holding the upper cam riser in place to remove. Remove the cam riser and install new one.
