Jenn Air Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your fridge door is misaligned or the refrigerator door not closing properly, the fix is often simpler than you think. Start with basic door adjustment — many models have lower hinge screws you can turn to raise or lower the door, or you can add plastic washers or shims to the lower hinge pin; loosening the top hinge screws lets you nudge the door side to side, then retighten when it sits square. If adjustment does not solve the problem, check the closing cam and closing mechanism for wear or damage, since a worn cam or mechanism can prevent the door from latching and leave the fridge door not sealing. Bent or damaged top hinges, bottom hinges, or hinge pins will also cause sag and misalignment, so inspect those parts and replace any that are bent or cracked. You can enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hinge, closing cam, or closing mechanism for your refrigerator and order the part you need.
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 - Jenn Air 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.
