Customer Questions and Answers for Door Bracket Connector by Whirlpool

This door bracket connector links the door bracket to its mating linkage in select refrigerator door assemblies. Replacing a worn or broken connector restores a solid connection so the door operates smoothly and stays properly aligned. What it does:

• Couples the door bracket to the hinge/actuator linkage to maintain alignment
• Helps ensure smooth door opening and closing
• Supports proper door sealing to reduce gaps or misalignment
• Replace if cracked, broken, or missing; common symptoms include a loose, clicking, or misaligned door

• Disconnect power before servicing; support the door as needed to prevent strain on hinges
• Remove the relevant bracket/cover to access the connector; note the connector's orientation
• Transfer and reuse existing screws/fasteners
• After installation, check door alignment and gasket contact all around
