Whirlpool Refrigerator Closing Cam - WP2182179

Restore refrigerator door closing action with this genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Closing Cam - WP2182179. The closing cam helps lift and guide the refrigerator door so it closes smoothly and seals correctly.

WP2182179 is a genuine Whirlpool-manufactured refrigerator door closing cam used when the original part is worn, damaged, missing, leaking, noisy, or no longer performing correctly. The key to a correct order is matching the exact appliance model number and the original part design, not just the visible part name.

Fits These Brands / Families: Select Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Kenmore, Ikea, and Whirlpool-built refrigerator platforms

Fitment / What To Verify: Verify model number, upper/lower hinge location, cam color/shape, door side, and whether the mating cam or hinge pin is also worn.

Please confirm fitment with your appliance model number before ordering.

Is it time to replace?

• Common Symptoms: Door will not close by itself, pops open, sags, clicks at hinge, or gasket does not seal evenly.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Worn cam ramps, broken plastic, powdered debris near hinge, door drop, or uneven hinge gap.

Pro Tip: Inspect both mating cam surfaces. Replacing only one worn half can leave the door closing poorly.
