Description
Restore smooth and consistent door operation with the genuine OEM Door Closing Cam (Part # WR2X4901). This essential component fits onto the lower hinge pin of many GE-brand refrigerators and enables the door to rise and fall as it opens and closes, maintaining alignment and a proper seal. Because door misalignment or sagging can lead to poor refrigeration performance and energy waste, replacing this cam can help restore correct operation. Please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to ensure this part suits your specific appliance model and hinge assembly. geapplianceparts.com+1
