The Refrigerator Pivot Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It supports the door hinge, allowing the refrigerator door to open and close smoothly. The pivot block ensures that the door stays aligned and securely attached to the refrigerator frame.
Causes of a bad pivot block can include wear and tear over time, heavy use, or damage from accidental impacts. Misalignment or excessive force when opening and closing the door can also contribute to its failure.
Symptoms of a bad refrigerator pivot block include:
- The refrigerator door not opening or closing properly
- A misaligned door that doesn't seal correctly
- Unusual noises when the door is operated
- The door feeling loose or wobbly
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Buttons on control panel did not work some parts missing Suzan F. • Lexington , NC • November 17, 2015
We turned off the circuit breaker. We then removed the light cover and then the control panel. We disconnected the Keyboard, Utah, plugged in the new one and turned the breaker on to see if everything worked. We realized that we did not need a new jazz board so that is being returned. The old Keyboard was removed, the new one attached and all the parts were put back. The frig works fine now at the recommended settings of zero and 38F.
