The Door Latch Cam is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This component is integral to the proper functioning of the refrigerator door latch system, ensuring the door stays securely closed.
Over time, the door latch cam can become worn out or damaged due to frequent use, exposure to moisture, or accidental impact. When the cam is compromised, it can affect the door's ability to seal properly, which can lead to energy inefficiency and potential spoilage of food.
Symptoms of a bad door latch cam include:
- Difficulty in closing or opening the refrigerator door
- The door not sealing tightly, leading to temperature fluctuations
- Increased energy consumption
- Unusual noises when operating the door latch
This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

I ordered an extra for the left door and one for the right door.
