883988P Genuine Door Closing Cap for Fisher & Paykel Fridges, Fits Right Hand Hinge Bracket, Door Self Closing Part

Fitted on the right hand hinge bracket of the fridge, door closing cap 883988P is a genuine Fisher & Paykel part. It works with the hinge to help the door swing shut and seal on its own. When it wears or splits, the door can stay ajar or need a push. No models are listed for this number, so check the number on the old cap or the parts list for your fridge before ordering.

Fridge door not closing by itself?

Many fridges are built so the door pulls itself closed for the last part of its swing. A closing cap on the hinge bracket provides that action as the door turns on the hinge. Once the cap wears down, cracks or falls out, the door may hang open a few centimetres, bounce back off the seal or close unevenly. That lets warm air in, so you might see frost, condensation or a fridge that runs longer than normal.

Fitting the closing cap

Unplug the fridge and empty the door shelves to take the weight off. Depending on the cabinet, the door may need lifting off its hinge to reach the cap, so have a helper hold it. Note which way the old cap faces before removing it, fit the new one the same way round, then rehang the door and check it closes and seals on its own.

Questions about this part

Will this suit a left hinged door?

This cap is listed for the right hand hinge bracket. Doors hung on the left normally need the matching left hand part, so check which side your hinges are on and look for the number on the old cap before ordering.
