I was about 3 seconds away from throwing my brand new refrigerator out the back door until I read this post. Tightened the tiny Hex bolt and it works perfectly!! Thanks all for the insight.

whirlpool model WRF757SDHZ02 also has a loud popping noise when closing. The fridge is less than 1 year old and we've had technicians out three times to look at it. It's obviously the closing cam but the cam has been replaced twice now and has not corrected the issue. You can see the door hang on the hinge until almost closed and then drop, causing the popping noise. Oddly enough it sometimes also does this while opening. Could leveling cause this issue?

Same issue here on the same fridge, must be widespread. I can't find anything wrong with the hinge. Seems like if I only open the door to 90 degrees it's not as bad. Thinking a rubber washer could possible fix it Edited by user Thursday, December 9, 2021 12:40:07 PM(UTC)

Gene. To Gene: Thanks for your help. I was able to track down the source of my problem. It was the lower hinge that was the culprit. It was loose. There was a small hex screw that prevents the plastic hinge support from moving. When it moves it makes this loud popping noise. I tightened it the best I could and the popping noise went away. Thank You, Rod Coelho Thank you for your posting. I've just been able to fix my 2023 model Frigidaire that had the same popping sound (door wasn't aligned, lose hinge).
