Frigidaire 297415900 Closing Cam Oem Replacement

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 297415900 is an OEM closing cam designed to control the self-closing action of a refrigerator door or freezer compartment door. This small but critical mechanical component engages with the door hinge assembly to generate the closing force that pulls the door shut when it reaches a certain angle. Without a functioning closing cam, doors may remain ajar, leading to temperature loss, compressor overwork, and potential food spoilage. Licensed appliance technicians and refrigeration service professionals install this part as a direct factory replacement. It is produced under the Frigidaire and Electrolux brands, which are interchangeable names for the same manufacturer.

This closing cam is applicable to Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators and freezer units that use a cam-style self-closing door hinge mechanism. It is commonly installed during hinge rebuild service or when door alignment and self-closing function have degraded. This part is suited for residential refrigeration service calls where the door fails to seal consistently or swings open past the self-closing engagement point.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Before beginning any service, unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power at the circuit breaker to eliminate electrical hazard. The door may need to be partially lifted off the hinge post to access and replace the closing cam. Inspect the hinge pin and surrounding hinge hardware for wear before reinstalling to ensure proper door alignment and self-closing performance after service.
