Bill E Lompoc , CA September 03, 2017 Appliance: Maytag Refrigerator MSD2754GRW Refrigerator door wouldn't close completely without assist 1) Identified the parts in the exploded parts diagram, watched the related videos & reviewed the comments to match symptoms/fixes. 2) Easily ordered the parts online. Wasn't sure which closer was needed (I never looked) Hint: look at the part (closer) on the bottom of the door first - order the black or white part, as required. Received parts two days later, per the shipping choice. 3) Replaced both parts of the lower hinge pin/closer according to the video. Tips: empty the door before COMPLETELY (including the shelves) before removing top hinge; don't skimp and replace BOTH parts as a set (both are worn out); take the extra time (30 minutes) to clean the door surfaces and all the shelves while it is empty and disassembled. 4) Re-assembly: the play in the top hinge provides some adjustment for aligning the doors - align the top corners of the fridge/freezer doors before tightening the top hinge pin.

David S Rochester , NY August 30, 2020 Appliance: Maytag Refrigerator MSD2356AEW Refrigerator door would stay ajar I removed the food and all the shelves from the door, removed the screw holding the cover plate on the top hinge and also popped the lower hinge cover off. I then removed the three screws holding the top hinge. I lifted the door off and laid it on the floor and removed the screw holding the door closer in place, pulled off the old door closer. I cleaned the area before installing the new one. I popped the old hinge pin out, cleaned the area and popped the new one in. I then lifted the door back into place and reinstalled the top hinge making sure the door was on straight before tightening the screws. I installed the top cover plate with its screw and popped the lower hinge cover plate back on after washing it off. Put the shelves back in and all the food (after discarding some expired condiments.) Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
