Refrigerator Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

This door magnet secures the appliance door by providing magnetic hold for proper closure and seal, helping maintain temperature and prevent accidental openings. It's a simple, durable component used where magnetic catch is required. What it does:

• Provides magnetic holding force so the door stays securely closed
• Helps maintain an effective door seal to preserve appliance performance
• Commonly linked to symptoms like a door that won't stay closed or items shifting during cycles
• Works with the existing strike or gasket to keep the door aligned when closed

• Disconnect power before accessing the door assembly to avoid injury
• Remove door panel or access cover as required by your model's service instructions
• Handle magnet and adhesive/mounting hardware carefully; use proper fasteners if original hardware is damaged
• Test door closure after installation to ensure proper alignment and holding force

This ice bin latch assembly secures the refrigerator's ice container so it stays seated and aligned with the auger drive. Replace a worn or broken latch to restore consistent ice dispensing and a snug fit.

• Locks the ice bin in place and aligns it with the auger/dispenser drive
• Helps prevent the bin from wobbling, shifting, or popping loose
• Can resolve no or intermittent ice dispensing caused by bin misalignment
• Direct replacement when the latch is cracked, worn, or missing

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator; turn off the water supply if needed
• Remove the ice bin to access the latch area
• Release retaining tabs/fasteners, note orientation, and install the new latch assembly
• Verify smooth latch engagement before reinstalling the bin and restoring power

This door latch secures the refrigerator door to help maintain a tight seal and proper temperature control. It replaces a worn or broken latch to restore normal door closure and reduce cold air loss. What it does:

• Secures the refrigerator door in the closed position to help maintain internal temperature
• Prevents the door from popping open during normal use or when bumped
• Helps reduce frost buildup and energy loss caused by a door that won't stay shut
• Fits into the door/frame assembly and engages with the strike to hold the door closed

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazard
• Inspect surrounding gasket and strike for damage; replace if necessary for proper sealing
• Use basic hand tools (screwdriver) and take care to retain mounting screws and any clips

This magnet assembly replaces the magnetic strip that helps the refrigerator door seal stay tight, improving door closure and helping the appliance maintain proper temperature and efficiency. What it does:

• Replaces the magnetic sealing strip in the door gasket to help the door stay closed
• Restores a strong door seal to reduce cold air loss and limit frost buildup
• Helps prevent warm-air leaks that can cause the compressor to run more often
• Addresses symptoms such as a door that won't fully latch, visible gaps at the seal, or excessive frost in the freezer

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Remove door trim or gasket; the magnet may snap or slide into a channel or require adhesive
• Handle the gasket and magnet carefully to avoid tearing or misalignment; ensure the magnet sits evenly along the door edge
