Whirlpool Refrigerator side door would not close automatically anymore.
Googled for a solution to how to fix a refrigerator door that would not close. Was directed to a video from PartSelect. Was wrong brand, but I got the general idea. Then, I looked up a refrigerator repair for Whirlpool. Called PartSelect with my model number and ordered a Cam Kit. Total cost shipped $20. Arrived in two days during the Holidays! Nice! (Ordered 12/23, Arrived 12/26). Opened package, fired the video up. Fixed in 15 minutes. Amazing!

Refrigerator door not closing properly
This is a simple repair. the only reason it took as look as it did was because you need to empty the products from the door(s). Of course this is a good opportunity to thoroughly clean the fridge. The problem was caused by wear on the plastic spacer for the bottom hinge. Remove the plastic covers that conceal the top hinge located on top of the refrigerator. Remove the three bolts that attach the hinge to the housing. The door can then be lifted off the bottom hinge. Remove and replace the bottom spacer. Then remove and replace the receiver in the door by prying it out with a screwdriver or pliers and popping in the new one. I put a dab of lithium grease on the hinges before I reassembled them to reduce the wear and extend the life a little. Reverse the procedure to reassemble.

The door clunked everytime it opened
I have a KitchenAid side-by-side refrigerator and the right door clunked everytime it opened. We think it was damaged when contractors had to move the fridge and probably were too rough with it. I went on line and found that I could actually repair it myself (thanks to this web site, a great web site, by the way). I researched and found out through others that I needed a new door closing CAM kit. I only needed to fix 1 door, but bought the whole kit anyway (PS358690, Door Closing Cam Kit)to have spares. The kit showed up, I followed the great instructions via the video to remove the door, replaced the upper CAM on the door first and then ran into a snafu with the lower cam. The hinge on my model fridge does not have a replaceable CAM, it is physically attached to the door hinge. The instructions that came with the kit showed a hinge that was not my hinge - sigh. I had to put back all the old clunky parts, put the door back on and go order a new hinge (hopefully). Luckily there was a hinge available for my model with the CAM installed. I purchased it (PS331817, Door Hinge with Cam) and it came quickly like the other parts. I took the door off again (I knew how to do it this time), I replaced the hinge with ease, put the door back on and it is no CLUNK-FREE - Smooth like when we bought it. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about their clunking issues and thanks to PartSelect for the parts and the help.

door would not close by itself, and closing the freezer door would open the fridge door
I followed the video instructions. Additionally the ordering process was easy and efficient and I received the parts promptly. Ordered on on 7/29/12 and received the parts on 7/31/12. The rep who took my order was very helpful and steered me to the right part. I'll use PartSelect again and will recommend them to my friends...ps. I have no connection whatsoever to this company.

I googled refridgerator door does not close.
I found this part on PartSelect. I was so excited it also showed a video on how to fix the door. My neighbor said he would help me and I ordered the pkg. It took 3 days to get here since I ordered Friday night and the part arrived Tuesday , this was the Easter Sunday week end also. Well the video said it was easy to do and I think it said it would take 15 min. My neighbor had it fixed in 10 min. I could not be happier. Thanks Part Select and my neighbor Mike.

Light switch which turns on the lights when the door opens went out
This is an easy fix, simply remove and replace. What I was impressed with is that a how to video was provided along with my part. I wish all manufactures would offer this, the video was easy to understand and you had a good view of the operation. Thanks, a job well done.

plastic cam was broken at the bottom hinge only, but replaced both cam pieces
Watched the video and viola, it was done. This was on the refrigerator side. Probably should have unplugged it, but didn't. One suggestion is hang a sheet in front to keep the cool in as best you can, even though it went really quickly.
