Admiral Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your fridge door is sagging, sitting uneven, or not closing and sealing tightly, the fix is usually something you can handle at the workbench or with a wrench at the hinge. Most often the problem is simple refrigerator door adjustment: turn the lower hinge adjustment screws or add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, and loosen the top hinge screws to nudge the door side to side, then retighten. If adjustment does not cure the issue, the next likely causes are a worn or broken closing cam or a faulty closing mechanism that prevents the door from seating properly. Less often the top or bottom hinge itself is bent or damaged and needs replacement. Inspect the cam, closing mechanism, and hinge parts for wear, cracks, or deformity and replace any damaged components to fix a fridge door not sealing or a refrigerator door not closing correctly.

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).
Highly Likely
02 - Admiral 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.
