Thermador Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
Is your Thermador refrigerator door misaligned and not closing properly? The most likely fix is a simple adjustment: check the lower hinge for adjustment screws you can turn to raise or lower the door, or add plastic washers or shims at the hinge pin to correct sag, and loosen the top hinge screws to realign the door side to side before retightening. If adjustment does not solve the fridge door not sealing, inspect the door closing cam next; a worn or broken closing cam often lets the door sit off-kilter. After that check the closing mechanism and then the top or bottom hinges for bends or damage, since a damaged hinge will keep the refrigerator door misaligned and prevent proper closing. These steps give a clear path for a confident DIYer or a first-time repairer to diagnose the problem and decide whether you only need adjustment hardware or a replacement cam, mechanism, or hinge. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your refrigerator.
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 - Thermador 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.
