WP2183805 - Whirlpool Refrigerator Door Stop

This Refrigerator Door Stop (WP2183805) from Whirlpool is a genuine part meticulously designed for multi-brand compatibility, including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Crosley, and Magic Chef refrigerators. The door stop plays a critical role in your refrigerator's functionality by providing stability and preventing the refrigerator door from swinging open or closing too forcefully. Crafted from durable materials, it acts as a buffer when the door is opened, ensuring the door doesn't swing open too wide, potentially damaging the hinges or other components. Similarly, when the door is closing, it helps to slow down the motion to avoid any slam that can cause damage or injury. This versatility ensures the safe and efficient operation of your appliance. Symptoms indicating a failing door stop might include issues with the refrigerator door opening or staying closed, or visible damage or cracking on the existing hinge or door stop area. Replacing a compromised door stop entails removing the refrigerator door, unscrewing the damaged part, and installing the new one to protect your refrigerator, surrounding cabinets, and ensure continued optimal performance. Customers should confirm their refrigerator's model number for compatibility before making a purchase.
