Genuine OEM WP12028505AP Refrigerator Door Closer Cam
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP12028505AP is the gray door closer cam for select bottom-mount Whirlpool-built refrigerators, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Kenmore and Amana models. The closer cam installs at the hinge and helps the door close smoothly and seal tightly, keeping cold air in. When it cracks or wears out, the door may not close completely, may not stay closed, or may swing open.
This is the original Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent. Check your model number before ordering, as bottom-mount refrigerators use several different closer and hinge pieces.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Refrigerator And Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator before you begin, and wear work gloves. Access to the hinge may mean raising the leveling legs, removing the base grille, and rolling the unit out from the wall. Removing the door first is often easier. Keep your model's parts diagram handy, note how the old closer and hinge pieces fit together, and replace the closer in the same position. Reinstall the door, check that the refrigerator is level, and test that the door closes and seals.
