The Door Cam is a black plastic part which helps the door pivot shut while keeping the door and hinge in proper alignment. Lubricating this part upon installation may help it move easier. It attaches onto the door hinge and should be replaced if broken or if there is noticeable damage. Refer to your model number and user manual to ensure this is the correct part for you. To do this repair you will need a 5/6 nut driver, a 5/16 socket, and a ratchet. For safety purposes, do not forget to turn off your appliance before making this repair. Note that this piece is black, and as per the manufacturer requires a new screw to mount the door cam which is sold individually. Please also note that this is the closing cam for the lower door, and the upper door cam is sold as a separate kit.

Perfect with a little mod.
I installed and added some silicone lube on top. jAfter a few weeks I found the cam was moving. I cleaned the the grease which had traveled under the cam. I found a washer perfectly sized to fit the bolt area. I learned the bolt head did not seem large enough to secure things well. Snugged it up. Everything is perfect now.

Junk parts that Ned replacement many ti.es
The parts work for a while. But I've replaced them several times in the life of the fridge. Maybe a ware item as important as this part should be made out of better materials!

Slide track required modification - Door cams installed easily
There were two small round studs in each slide track missing from the originals. Since there were no corresponding holes in the metal shelf bracket on my fridge, I ground off the plastic studs with a Dremel tool and the tracks fit perfectly.

Machine Leaking Water
I did some tests and determined that the tub-to-pump drain hose had a leak in it.I then looked on the web to find disassembly instructions. I have a stacked washer dryer combination in a very confined space. The repair involved disconnecting both the washer and dryer from the water, gas, electric and venting systems first, then unstacking
... Read more the dryer from the washer (not so easy, it required a helper). The machine was then pulled out so I could get at the parts necessary to remove the outside components and sheet metal. Then, I disassembled the top, front and access panel in the back. The disassembly went very well. I got access to the drain hose assembly and removed it fairly easily. I ordered a replacement drain hose assembly and found that installing the large port of the assembly was very difficult. (The two other ports were easy.) After thinking about it, I tilted the machine back a bit so I could try it from the bottom. That worked fine.I then reassembled and tested the machine. No leaks. Good luck with yours!

The right door makes a loud clicking sound when it is opened/closed. What part(s) are do I need to order to repair this?
For model number 106.5736702
Hi Robin, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the Lower Door Closing Cam,Part Number: PS11739042 and the Door Cam,Part Number: PS11752991. Good luck with the repair!
I ordered (#10668178) and installed the lower door cam for Whirlpool model ed27dqxbn01 refrigerator, but I was unaware there is also an 'upper door cam' that mates with the lower cam to properly close the door, mine is flat worn out, could you point me to the part # for this item if available?
For model number ED27DQXBN01
Hi Octavio, Thank you for the question. The upper cams are only sold as part of the Door Closing Cam Kit, PartSelect Number PS358690. Hope this helps!

Hi, This is a Whirlpool side by side fridge. I've done the door cam repair a couple of times in the past, and just completed it again today and noticed for the first time that the lower of the two cams (part # ps11752991) moves back and forth a bit as the door opens and closes. Is this normal? I don't want to over tighten it, because the last time i did the repair i did that, and the head snapped off the screw and i had to drill it out, etc. So, again, the question is: Is it normal for the lower of the two cams (the one that attaches to the fridge) to move back and forth a bit as the door opens and closes? And if not, any thoughts on how to fix that? Thanks!
For model number GS2SHAXKB01
Hello Craig, Thank you for the question. The cam should not move once installed. You should be able to tighten the screw to prevent the cam from moving. Hope this helps!

Can you help, right door is a down a bit, how to alignment. Thank you in advance!
For model number KSRG25FKSS15
Hi Carlos,
Thank you for your question. If the right door is not closing correctly and is hanging down a bit, you will need to check the door hinges, the door cams and the lower door closing cams to see which parts are causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Does not complete a cycle.
For model number KDTE204DWH
Hi Roman,
Thank you for your question. If your dishwasher does not complete a cycle, open and close the door to see if it is latching properly. If it is, check the breaker to see if it has tripped. If the breaker is fine, you may have a failed heating element. A failed heating element can cause the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. You will need to test the heating element with a multimeter. To test the element, set your multimeter to Rx1 and touch each probe to a terminal. Your reading should be somewhere between zero and infinity, refer to your owner’s manual to determine what reading you should receive for your model. If it is exactly zero or infinity it is defective. If your test produces a reading different from the manufacturer’s recommendation, you will need a replacement heating element. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I am trying to replace the lower door cam on my Whirlpool fridge. I noticed in your videos that this cam is secured with a screw. On my model it seems to be secured with a rivet. Do i need to replace whole hinge with one that comes with the cam attached? Or can i drill out the rivet and replace it with the screw and just buy the cam.
For model number GC5SHGXLT01
Hello Ian, thank you for your question. You can drill out the rivet and replace it will the screw and purchase the cam. The manufacturer has advised a new screw is needed to mount door cam. That is PartSelect Number PS11742755. Good luck with your repair!
