Question about Kenmore 55612 / 55614 / 5561 / 655619 Side by Side Refrigerator
The right door to my side-by-side refrigerator is making avery loud popping noise when it is opened and closed. sounds like it is in the hinge mechanism. Any ideas for a fix? I tried adding some silicon lubrication but it is still loud. thanks
After reading these posts, I fixed my refrigerator door in less than 5 minutes. The little black plastic cam on the bottom hinge was loose. To fix it, take the hinge cover off of the top with an 8mm socket, and remove the three 8mm screws holding the top hinge on. Remove the door by lifting up off of the bottom hinge and set it aside. On the bottom hinge is a black plastic cam held on by an 8mm screw. The screw on mine was really loose. Tightening it and putting the door back on made it work like new. You probably don't have a bad cam, just a loose one.

Sounds like the self closer insert in bottom of door. Remove door and inspect plastic bushing that fits into bottom of door that hinge pin goes into. If you are able to turn it back and forth any at all then it needs replacing. It wont hurt anything like it is, just make the popping noise.

I have a six-year-old Kenmore top-mount refrigerator, model 628 64100. For the last four months it makes a loud popping sound every 45 minutes or so. It seems odd that this might be due to the expansion and contraction of the inside walls, since the noise has been evident only recently.
l did;nt do yet anything know
