The Closing Cam is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The closing cam works with the door hinge and latch mechanism to make sure the refrigerator door closes securely.
Causes of a bad closing cam can be normal wear and tear over time, excessive strain placed on the hinge areas, or damage from accidental impacts.
Symptoms of a bad closing cam include:
- Doors that do not fully close or latch properly
- Difficulty closing or opening the doors
- Increased energy costs from poor insulation
- Fruits and vegetables spoiling more quickly
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
