The Door Closer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component ensures that the refrigerator door closes smoothly and securely, maintaining the seal that keeps cold air inside and warm air out. The door closer helps to prevent the door from remaining ajar, which can lead to increased energy consumption and reduced cooling efficiency.

Causes of a bad door closer can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from repeated use, or misalignment. A malfunctioning door closer can result in the refrigerator door not closing properly, leading to cooling issues and higher energy bills.

Symptoms of a bad door closer include:

  • The refrigerator door not closing or sealing properly
  • The door not staying closed
  • Warm air entering the refrigerator, causing the interior temperature to rise
  • Increased energy consumption due to the door not sealing

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Door Closer (Gry) (Part Number: OEM18016269)

1 Answer

Doug, the hinges would need to be inspected for any loose screws or sagging to identify if this would play a part. From there, the level of the appliance would need to be checked.

Pat for Model Number 59679533019

I have reviewed your Q&A etc and the popping sound my left fridge door makes on opening and closing seems to be a common problem needing a new closing cam part WP12028505AP. When I look at the side view to the part in tact, the door 'jumps' a little on closing. To confirm the correct style of cam, I removed the door to have a look at the faulty part. It looks to be in perfect condition, no wear or tear at all (4 yr old fridge).. Could there be another issue causing this problem?

1 Answer

Pat, if the popping is coming from the bottom of the door, the doorstop may need to be checked to see if it has loosened. If so, the mounting screw would need to be tightened.

Hello David, before ordering any parts locate the source of the noise, if at the top of the door check for any wiring interference under the hinge cover, if at the bottom of the door ,check if the door stop bracket may just be loose and its attachment screws need tightening.

Chad, There would not be a door closer on the left side door and you may need to lower the front of the unit a little to get it more level as the door will have a tendency to close if not leveled properly.

Tom, Yes, here is a door closer cam for both refrigerator doors WP12028505AP / WP12028505AP. You will need to remove the door to access them. On the left door you will need to remove the hinge cover, disconnect the wire harness and water tube, then remove the top hinge and lift the door off the center hinge pin. Check the closer cam for damage, excess wear and tear, and replace it if necessary. Use some white lithium grease to lubricate the closer cam and the door cam. If the closer cam on the hinge isn't damaged, etc. Then you will need to replace the door assembly, the door cam is internal to the door and can't be replaced.

Del, The plastic piece that goes up into the door would actually be part of the door assembly.

Hello Fernando, While your model number may have a grey closer from the factory, it lists WP67003639 as the proper replacement part for your unit. The one your were viewing may be the correct color but, since the dimensions are not provided by the manufacturer, we cannot guarantee it will be the correct length or diameter for the model number you listed GI6FDRXXY02.
