Electrolux Refrigerator door(s) misaligned

If your Electrolux refrigerator door is misaligned or the fridge door is not sealing and won't close properly, start with a simple door adjustment — most misaligned doors are fixed by raising or lowering the door with the lower hinge adjustment screw, adding a plastic washer or shim to the hinge pin, or loosening the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side and then retightening. If adjusting the hinges does not restore proper alignment, inspect the door closing cam and the closing mechanism next; worn cams or closing mechanisms allow the door to hang off position or fail to latch. If those parts look damaged, check the top and bottom hinges for bends, wear, or broken hinge hardware that can make the freezer door sag or leave the refrigerator door misaligned. RepairClinic carries the replacement closing cams, closing mechanisms, and hinge parts you need, and entering your model number on RepairClinic.com will show the exact replacement part that fits your fridge.

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).

02 - Electrolux Refrigerator Closing Cam

A refrigerator door closing cam allows the door to rest in place in the open position and to close securely on its own when the door is swung shut. A damaged closing cam could cause the door to be misaligned. Inspect the cam for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
