Description

This closer is the door hinge/closing component that controls how the appliance door moves and latches. It cushions and steadies the door for smoother closing and helps prevent slamming or doors that won't stay shut. What it does:

• Controls and cushions door travel so the door closes smoothly and reduces slamming.
• Helps the door engage the latch and stay closed; can address doors that drop or don't shut fully.
• Replaces worn or broken closers that cause uneven or noisy door movement.
• Works as a mechanical hinge/closing aid—not an electronic part.

What's included: (1) closer Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or turn off breaker) before starting any work.
• Basic hand tools typically required (screwdriver, nut driver); remove any trim or panels per your service manual.
• Handle springs and hinge hardware carefully to avoid pinching; wear gloves and eye protection.
