Amana Refrigerator door(s) misaligned

If your fridge door is misaligned or your refrigerator doors are uneven, start with the simplest fixes first: check the lower hinge adjustment screws and raise or lower the door as needed, or add plastic washers or shims to the lower hinge pin to correct a sagging door. You can also loosen the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side, then retighten after you get the fit right. If alignment and hinge adjustments do not stop the door from sagging or sticking, inspect the door closing cam and the closing mechanism for wear or damage next, since a worn cam or latch can prevent the door from seating properly. Finally, look for bent or damaged top, bottom, or door hinges that will need replacement. This troubleshooting order—refrigerator door adjustment first, then closing cam or mechanism, then hinge replacement—solves most fridge door misaligned problems. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement parts for your refrigerator and get the right hinge, cam, or hardware for the repair.

01 - Door adjustment required

Some refrigerators have adjustment screws on the lower hinge that can be turned to raise or lower the door for better alignment. For others, you can add plastic washers or shims to the lower hinge pin to help align the doors. Loosening the top hinge screws will often allow the door to be readjusted from side to side (don't forget to retighten the screws after any adjustments are made).
