Move the refrigerator away from the wall and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Turn the handle on the water supply valve clockwise until it is tight to turn off the water supply.

Slide the new cam onto the door hinge, and secure it using the mounting screw.

Spread a small amount of silicone-based lubricant on the cam using your finger.

Reassemble the refrigerator by reversing the steps taken to disassemble it.

Restore the refrigerator's water and power supply, then move the refrigerator back into position.
