Danby Refrigerator freezer door or drawer not opening/closing properly

If your freezer door or drawer is sticking, sagging, or simply not closing properly, the most likely culprits are a bent or damaged door hinge or a worn door stop. A bad hinge lets the door misalign and sag so the seal gaps, while a broken or worn door stop prevents the door from seating fully. After those two checks, inspect the bottom hinge, top hinge and center hinge for bent parts, worn pins, loose mounting screws or stripped threads that let the door hang unevenly. In many repairs a failed hinge or hinge kit is all that needs replacing to fix a fridge door not sealing or a freezer door not closing properly, and replacing the hinge often restores smooth opening and closing without more extensive work. If the gasket looks damaged after you realign the door, replace it only after confirming hinge alignment. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hinge, hinge kit or door stop for your refrigerator and get step by step guidance to complete the repair.
