Easy Installation
My door support bracket was a little different than the one in PartSelect's installation video, so I needed to use both cam shims for the one door in order to prevent slippage. Maybe I coulda used the cam with the shoulder screw on the bottom instead, but I don't have to worry about it anymore...so I don't care! Otherwise, everything worked even better(& easier) than expected!!

Just what I needed
The parts bag obviously contained way more than I needed but it was fairly easy to identify which cams fit my fridge and the step by step video on the website made it super easy. Was done in 20 minutes.

Door Closing Cam Kit
This part arrived earlier than expected and worked perfectly on my 24 year-old refrigerator. I had actually ordered another refrigerator thinking the issue with the door not staying closed would require too much money to repair. However, this part saved the day. A really easy repair and now the doors close as tightly as when it was new.Good fix!

Just what the doctor ordered!
It took me all of 10 minutes to replace these door hinge parts. Fridge now closes all by itself and doesn’t make a horrible grinding sound. Just a little hint, apply a little grease before hanging door back on.

Following the instructions on the site I removed the upper hinge cover and hinge(after removing the shelves from the door). I replaced both cams on the bottom hinge, reinstalled the door and the problem was solved. A couple of hints that may speed up the process: 1.

I decide to re-align the freezer door . After this, the ice and water dispensers didn't work. Turns out the internal freezer light switch which also acts as a cutoff switch for the door dispensers wasn't being activated. Easy to adjust once the cause was discovered.

Will this kit work on my KitchenAid ksrg25fkss04 refrigeration? When i search for the part(s) by the model number it only lists the individual cam pieces and not the kit as an option.
Hi Gareth, thank you for your question. Unfortunately this kit is not listed underneath your appliance model information so we cannot guarantee that every part inside of it will work for your model. According to your model information the parts are sold separately from each other. We would be able to guarantee anything that you find directly underneath your model number as being correct for your model. This kit seems like it would work, however unfortunately we cannot guarantee it for you. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Refrigerator door has to be pushed closed. Unlike the freezer door which closes itself.
Hello William and thanks for writing.
Troubleshoot the most common items that can cause a bad seal on a refrigerator door. Check inside the refrigerator to ensure there aren't any food containers, open crisper drawers or misaligned shelves that could keep the door from closing properly. ... If the door still fails to shut tightly, check the door gasket. # PS323906 if the gasket checks ok, then your cam might be faulty # PS11739045. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
The lower cam on my fridge (ordered from this site) only fits in the grooves of the upper cam when the door is halfway open. It has to be pushed firmly to shut. The teeth seem to be off my 45 degrees. Is there a different part for my model?
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is Part Number: PS11739042. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Refrigerator section door normally stays closed, but easily can stay open. It's like there is supposed to a be a magnet to hold it closed, but it is worn.
Hi Keith, thank you for reaching out. You may need to inspect the door gasket. If it is faulty, you may need to replace it to fix the issue. The door gasket for the fresh food section of your model comes in two colors. The white door gasket is part number PS323900, and the black door gasket is part number, PS323906. We hope this information helps!
