Norge Refrigerator door(s) misaligned

If your Norge refrigerator door is misaligned and the refrigerator door not closing or the fridge door not sealing, start with the simplest fix: check and adjust the lower hinge screws or add shims to the hinge pin to raise, lower, or tilt the door for proper fit, and loosen and retighten the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side. If adjustments do not correct the problem, inspect the closing cam and the door closing mechanism for wear or damage, since a worn cam or latch often keeps the door from seating and will cause the door to hang or not close smoothly. Next check the top and bottom hinges for bends, cracks, or stripped fasteners; damaged hinges will make the door sag and prevent a good seal. These causes are listed in order of likelihood and are fixable with the right part and basic tools. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hinge, cam, or closing mechanism that fits your refrigerator and get step by step parts and repair guidance.

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).
