The Door Closure Cam is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a small lever located inside refrigerator doors that engages the latch bolt when closing. The closure cam ensures doors are securely fastened shut to maintain optimal cooling temperatures.
Causes of a bad closure cam can include worn or loose mounting points preventing engagement, cracked or broken lever components, or door latch mechanisms that inhibit full closure.
Symptoms of a bad door closure cam include:
- The refrigerator door not closing fully or latching securely
- Cool air escaping around door edges
- Higher energy bills from excessive compressor run times
- Interior condensation or frost buildup from improper seals
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models
