A Whirlpool refrigerator in Winton, OH had a door that wouldn’t close properly. Our diagnosis revealed failed hinges and a worn door closer cam set that needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the door won’t close properly on their Whirlpool refrigerator. This prevented proper sealing and would affect cooling efficiency.
