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.

not right
October 14, 2021

I actually found out that I have to order the whole bottom hinge to get the plastic piece that works for the model number. Super frustrating....especially after spending a fair amount of time with the Sears parts people to get the "right part" (which I did not)
