Magic Chef Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned, sagging, or not sealing or closing properly, start with simple hinge adjustments because that is the most likely cause. Many models let you raise or lower the door with an adjustment screw on the lower hinge, or you can add a plastic washer or shim at the hinge pin to level it; loosening the top hinge screws usually lets you shift the door side to side, just remember to retighten them. If adjustments do not correct the problem, inspect the door closing cam and the closing mechanism next, since a worn cam or damaged mechanism can prevent the door from latching and cause a fridge door not sealing. If those parts look fine, check the top and bottom hinges for bends or damage and replace a defective hinge to stop door sag and uneven gaps. These repairs are straightforward for a handy DIYer and guideable for a first-timer with basic tools.

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 - Magic Chef 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.
