KitchenAid Refrigerator freezer door or drawer not opening/closing properly
If your freezer door or drawer is sticking, sagging, or won’t close tight, the most likely culprit is a bent or damaged door hinge. After that, check the door stop for wear or breakage, since a failed stop often prevents the freezer door from seating. A sagging bottom hinge is a common reason the door hangs low and won’t seal, while a damaged top hinge or a misaligned center hinge can also throw the door off track. Sometimes several hinge components are worn and the complete door hinge kit is the right repair. These problems are the usual causes when a refrigerator door not closing properly or a freezer door not closing, and they’re also why a fridge door not sealing can leave the compartment warm. Inspect hinges and stops for play, cracks, or stripped screws before ordering parts. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement hinge, stop, or hinge kit that fits your refrigerator so you can make the repair with the right parts.
