The Closing Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As an internal component, the closing cam is responsible for assisting with the smooth and secure closing of refrigerator doors.
Causes of a bad closing cam can include wear and tear over time reducing effectiveness, or damage from accidental impacts compromising operational shape.
Symptoms of a bad closing cam include:
- Loose or sagging doors that do not close properly
- Doors that do not fully latch or seal against the gasket
- Increased cooling costs from unsealed interior leakage
- Potential damage to other door parts over repeated stress
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some KitchenAid models.
