Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm that your refrigerator has a bottom hinge cam (door closer) scenario; many doors use different hinge designs and this kit may not fit newer hinge types. Lowes Appliance Parts
-
Even if part numbers match, verify that the hinge dimensions, mounting holes and bracket shape align with your old cam before installation.
-
Because door alignment affects sealing, checking for other hinge wear or cabinet warping is wise as part of the repair. Simply replacing the cam may not resolve all issues if the hinge or door frame is damaged.
-
Have your maintenance technician inspect the hinge and door weight/tolerance before ordering to ensure correct fit and safe installation.
