Replacing Door Cam on Side by Side
December 26, 2021

Extremely easy to install! My refrigerator door cam was no longer closing due to the part wearing down over years of use. I was able to replace the part in about 10 minutes and it works great.

As advertised
October 11, 2021

Removed 3 screws and loosened two others to get the door off without even fully removing the top bracket. This part replaced the old one with just one more screw. All too easy! Be sure to get it's mate, though. With my fridge, both had worn down fully.

Simple to install
October 09, 2021

Take out 3 bolts on top of the refrigerator, lift the door up. Take out trays, then turn it over and take the old one. Might need a screw driver or small pry bar to get the old one out. Then clean area and put new one in. Then put door back on
