White Westinghouse Refrigerator Support Parts

This door closer plate is a hinge component that helps your refrigerator door swing closed and seal properly. Replacing a worn plate restores smooth door action and supports a reliable seal to help maintain interior temperatures.

• Guides the hinge/cam for self-closing action and a consistent door stop
• Helps the door close fully and stay shut to protect the gasket seal
• Common symptoms include clicking/grinding at the hinge, door drifting open, or misalignment
• A weak seal from incomplete closing can contribute to frost or condensation

• Unplug the refrigerator; turn off the water supply
• Remove items from the door and support the door to prevent strain on the hinge
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners, separate the hinge as directed by your manual, and replace the closer plate; align with the mating cam
• Reassemble, level/align the door, and verify smooth closing and gasket contact

Front plate restores the appliance's front-facing cabinet, protecting internal components and improving appearance. It replaces cracked, dented or worn front trim so the appliance looks finished and covers internal parts. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal components behind the appliance's front cabinet.
• Restores cosmetic appearance when the existing front is dented, cracked, or scratched.
• Helps maintain proper fit and alignment of adjacent trim and access points.
• Reduces exposure of internal components to dust and incidental contact.

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning work.
• Removal typically requires removing fasteners, clips or adjacent trim panels—keep track of all screws.
• Handle carefully; edges may be sharp and panels can be awkward to position alone.

This tapping plate secures the mullion/vertical trim on a refrigerator, restoring a solid mount and proper door alignment. It replaces a damaged or missing mounting plate to reduce trim movement and help maintain a tight door seal. What it does:

• Provides a screw-ready mounting surface for the refrigerator mullion/trim
• Helps keep the mullion firmly in place to prevent wobble or rattling
• Restores proper mullion alignment that can affect door fit and sealing
• Addresses symptoms like loose or shifting mullion trim and uneven door gaps

• Disconnect power and empty doors as needed before working on the mullion area
• Align plate with the mullion mounting area and secure with appropriate screws
• Use hand tools and wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges

This left-side tapping plate/gusset is a metal mounting bracket that reinforces appliance panels and hinge areas, restoring secure attachment and alignment for doors or panels. It helps reduce wobble and maintains proper fit where the original bracket is damaged or worn. What it does:

• Reinforces and secures hinge or panel attachment points to restore alignment
• Provides a threaded or tapped surface for fasteners where sheet metal cannot accept screws
• Stops movement or sagging that can cause gaps, noise, or poor door sealing
• Helps prevent further damage to the cabinet or door mounting area

• Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning repairs
• Inspect mounting holes and surrounding metal; remove any damaged fasteners or debris before installing
• Use the correct replacement screws and hand-tighten, then torque to manufacturer specs if available; do not over-tighten
• If the cabinet or hinge area is severely corroded or stripped, additional repair or reinforcement may be required
