The Door Closure Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It provides balanced tension to assist the door hinges and latch mechanism in securely closing the refrigerator door. The spring helps the door shut fully while preventing it from slamming closed abruptly.   Symptoms of a bad door closure spring include: The door not latching securely or remaining slightly ajar     Difficulty closing the door fully without assistance Increased thermal loss as the door does not seal tightly Risk of food items falling out from an open door position    Causes of failure include metal fatigue from prolonged use. Springs can also weaken from mineral buildup over many years of repeated openings and closings.  This OEM GE replacement spring is also compatible with models including GE, Monogram, and select Kenmore units.WR1X2027 (AP2056804) replaces 290493, AH294790, EA294790, PS294790, WR01X2027.
