It's the mechanism that slows the door in its last few centimetres so it closes gently. No compatible models are recorded for it yet, so look up your fridge's parts list using the model and serial number on the inside label, and confirm 821439 is shown for the left hand door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge door slamming or bouncing open?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft close unit dampens the door as it swings shut, then draws it the last little way onto the seal. When the damper wears out or breaks, the door may slam, bounce back open, stop short of closing, or need an extra push to seal. That can leave the door slightly ajar without you noticing, which lets warm air in, causes frost and makes the fridge work harder. Leaking damper fluid, clicking or a door that suddenly feels loose are other clues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 821439\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft close door unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft hand side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR1 reference in F\u0026amp;P's description\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the soft close unit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart by turning the power off at the wall. Soft close mechanisms can be under spring tension, so note how the old one is set before removing it and keep fingers clear. Support the door, swap the unit, and set it to match the original position. Open and close the door several times to check it slows smoothly and seals fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does IR1 mean on this part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIR1 is a reference in Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel's description for this soft close part, and it normally relates to the model range it was designed for.
