Description

This door closing cam thimble fits the refrigerator door hinge assembly. It creates the smooth ramp/detent action that helps the door self-close and seal properly, restoring consistent door movement when the original cam surfaces are worn.

• Provides the hinge cam action that pulls the door closed during the last inches of travel
• Helps keep the door aligned and reduces wobble at the hinge
• Typical symptoms of wear: door won't stay closed or bounces open, popping/clicking sounds, rough or uneven door swing, visible flat spots on cam surfaces
• Helps maintain a reliable gasket seal by guiding the door to its closed position

What's included: 1 door closing cam thimble Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; clear and support the door to prevent drops
• Remove hinge cover and fasteners; lift the door off the hinge as needed for access
• Replace the cam thimble on the hinge/door bracket; reassemble and tighten hardware
• Verify door alignment and full gasket contact after reinstallation
