Whirlpool WP2198608 Refrigerator Latch Spring
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP2198608 Refrigerator Latch Spring is a small but crucial component found in your Whirlpool, Kenmore, or KitchenAid refrigerator door. This spring is essential to a tight and safe shutting of your refrigerator door. This is how it operates: The door latch mechanism is where the latch spring is fastened. The spring exerts force on the latch when the door is closed, compelling it to securely engage with the refrigerator frame's striking plate. As a result, the refrigerator chamber is walled off from the outside and warm air cannot enter. For your refrigerator to chill at a constant and effective temperature, the latch spring must be working correctly. Furthermore, a tight door closing keeps odors from escaping and food from spoiling.
