How to Replace the LG Refrigerator Camshaft

A loose or broken door hinge can cause problems with opening and closing the door on an LG refrigerator. The hinge mechanism for opening and shutting the door also includes components inside the door frame, such as the camshaft. The camshaft is located below the door stop on the top corner of the door and helps to control the movement of the door. You can inspect the part for any damage and manually replace the camshaft with a new part, if necessary.
