The Refrigerator Door Closure is a white OEM Replacement Part designed to aid in the closing of a Whirlpool refrigerator door. It incorporates a door closer cam that elevates the door. The cam prevents it from contacting the refrigerator liner when closed.

To replace the door closure, the first step is to remove the upper hinge cover, which may be secured by a 5/16" screw or a Phillips head screw. The refrigerator door should be emptied prior to this process. After removing the hinge cover, the screws from the upper hinge are removed followed by the hinge itself. With the upper hinge removed, the door is slightly opened, lifted off, and turned upside down to access the closure.
