This shaft damper cushions and stabilizes a refrigerator/freezer door hinge to help the door close smoothly and reduce slamming. A simple replacement can restore consistent, quiet door movement and alignment. What it does:

• Dampens hinge movement so the door closes more gently and evenly
• Reduces hinge noise and sudden door drops or slamming
• Helps maintain proper door alignment and seal for consistent cooling
• Common symptom: door feels loose, slams, or doesn't close smoothly

• Disconnect power (unplug appliance) before beginning any repair
• Use appropriate hand tools; support the door or hinge while removing/installing the damper
• Handle hinge hardware carefully to avoid misalignment; test door operation after installation
