Magic Chef Refrigerator freezer door or drawer not opening/closing properly

If your freezer door or drawer is sagging, scraping, or not closing, start by checking the hinges and door stop—bent or worn hinges are the most common cause of a refrigerator door not closing properly and will cause misalignment and a poor seal. Next likely is a damaged door stop or striker that lets the door hang open or prevents it from latching. Less common but still possible are issues with the bottom, top, or center hinge components or worn hinge kit parts that need replacement or realignment. A quick inspection for bent hinge pins, stripped screws, loose mounting bolts, or broken stop tabs tells you whether you can tighten and realign the door or must swap in a new hinge or stop. Fixing the hinge or stop usually restores a tight seal so the fridge cools normally and the freezer door closes correctly.
