The Fresh Food Door Closure Cam is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is a component located inside the fresh food door that works together with the door latch mechanism. The door closure cam has a pivoting arm that engages the latch to securely fasten the door shut when closed. For the same part in white, purchase WR02X10637.
Causes of failure include wear and tear over time from repeated usage, damage due to accidental mishandling of the door, or an impact that causes misalignment of the cam.
Symptoms of a bad door closure cam include:
- The refrigerator door not closing properly
- A sagging or misaligned door
- Unusual noises when opening or closing the door
- Gaps in the door seal leading to temperature inconsistencies
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Presto. Problem gone. Don't put excessive weight...
