Whirlpool Refrigerator freezer door or drawer not opening/closing properly
If your freezer door or drawer is sticking, sagging, or the refrigerator door not closing properly, the usual culprits are mechanical and easy to verify. Start by inspecting the door hinge for bends, cracks, or loose fasteners since a damaged hinge is the most common cause of a freezer door not closing or a fridge door that is misaligned. Next check the door stop for wear or broken tabs that let the door swing past its closing point. A worn bottom hinge often lets the door sag, while a bad top or center hinge can also throw the whole door out of square. In many cases replacing the defective hinge or installing a hinge kit restores a proper seal and stops the fridge door from not sealing or not closing. If you want the right replacement, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact hinge, hinge kit, or door stop that fits your refrigerator and get step by step parts and repair help.
