843387 Genuine Right Hand Door Closing Hook with Door Stop for Fisher & Paykel Fridges, RH Fridge Door Closer

Genuine Fisher & Paykel part 843387 is a right hand closing hook with a built in door stop for fridges. It helps pull the door closed over the last stretch and stops it swinging open too far. Fisher & Paykel makes several closing hooks that look alike, in different colours and versions for different ranges, so this is a part to order strictly by number.

Fridge door not closing by itself

A door that doesn't swing shut leaves a gap at the seal, so warm air gets in, frost builds up and the fridge runs more than it should. The closing hook works with the hinge to give the door a gentle pull closed and to limit how far it opens. When the hook wears, cracks or breaks, the door can drift open, bounce back from the cabinet, or swing wide enough to hit nearby cupboards. A missing door stop can also put extra strain on the hinge.

Fitting a closing hook

Clear the door bins first to take weight off the hinge. Open the door to the point where you can see the hook, then remove its fixings and note exactly how it sits against the hinge. Fit the new hook the same way and tighten it securely. Close the door gently from a half open position to check it pulls itself shut and stops at the right angle when opened.

Questions about this part

Does right hand mean the hinge side?

Usually it refers to the side of the fridge the part is fitted to, seen from the front. Fisher & Paykel ranges vary, so the surest check is the number on your old hook or the parts list for your fridge's model and serial number.
