Crisper pan rail/lip broken off
I searched Google using the part number from Whirlpool and found PartSelect immediately. They were the best price and had the item in stock. I received it w/i 2 days! I like that they use a gridded background of 1" squares in the picture of the item to demonstrate its dimensions/size.
It slid right in.

Refrigerator door wouldn't close automatically
I removed the three small bolts (under cosmetic cap) located on the right top hand side of the refrigerator and pulled off the door. Replaced the top and bottom cams, put back on the door, screws and cap. Door works like new and the Wife loves it.
On a side note, don't be confused when ordering the top and bottom cam as they are both on the bottom of the door.

Door would not close properly
First I removed the three screws on the top hing of the refrigerator door so that we could lift it off the bottom hing. Socket wrench bits for my drill made that fast and simple. I lifted the door off the bottom hing to find the door closing plastic cam to be broken in several pieces. The hardest part was getting the cylinder shape piece that had broken off the cam out from inside the door. This way we would be able to insert the new piece. Needle nose pliers are the right tool for that job since the hole is small and the plastic just frays under force from regular pliers. It took some force and patience to get that out, but once all the broken pieces were removed, reassembly was quick and easy

Refrigerator door failed to stay closed
I followed the instructions as laid out in the video associated with this fix. Aside from the fact that the video covers the freezer side door, the fix was the exact same. The video was outstanding and covered exactly how conduct the repair. Incredibly easy to follow and to do and required minimal tools. Wonderfully simple experience that saved a potentially significant amount of money to hire an appliance repair person.

Refrigerator door not closing properly
We’d had the refrigerator repaired a year ago by the service department of our local appliance store. Turns out the service tech somehow used the wrong screw when replacing the door cam, causing it to rub on the cams and causing premature wear. After watching the provided repair video, it took about 10 minutes to remove the door, replace the cams and reinstall the door. Saved well over $100 and had the job done right this time.

refrigerator door would not stay closed , I would close the door and it would bounce back out , I had to close the door by holding it closed each time I opened it
I watched the video, removed the top three screws , took the door off , put the door on the floor and removed the part with a socket.Then I put the new part in after lubricating . I picked the door up put it on the stem below , replaced the three screws and closed the door . The video was a big help was very easy to do and the part was quickly shipped .Thank you for all your help . Patricia
