Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This is a replacement pivot block for your refrigerator. It is made of white plastic and is approximately 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. The pivot block catches and holds the door mullion cover when you close the door. If your refrigerator door will not close properly, you may need to replace the pivot block. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

Fridge would not close left door or close very hard
Replaced mullion and pivot block The pivot block and the mullion showed signs of wear and tear where they would meet up to close the left door.
backout one screw, push mullion up and free from upper and lower slotted tabs, disconnect one electrical connector. Reverse the steps to reinstall. Literally took 2 minutes.
I had several broken appilances broken with parts to be replaced.
I had ordered the parts from Part Select and came with in a week. I ahd a Whrilpool microwave that had a door panel and vent grille that needed to be replaced and that was rplced with ease took less that five minutes to do. My Maytag refridgerator had it kickplate grille replace along with the pivot block that took all of about two minut
... Read morees. The longest job that took about 5 minutes was my Whirlpool glass oven door that needed to be replaced, but that was pretty ease to replace also with an extra hand from my son. I just didn't want to break another glass door or I would have done it myself plus I was teaching him how to do self reparts.

Do I need a pivot block if the Right door doesn’t close properly
For model number MFB2055YEM00
Hello Toni, thank you for your question! Your model does not have a pivot block. First, run through the following checklist in order to ensure the door is able to close properly: Are there food packages blocking or preventing the door from closing, are the shelves or bins out of position, are the door gaskets dirty, sticky, or damaged, is the ice bin out of position, and is the refrigerator level? If all is fine, you need to check the following parts: door closing cam, part number PS11755285, hinge bracket, part number PS11739061, and door gasket, part number PS11755072. If you require assistance to place an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
