Roper Refrigerator door(s) misaligned

If your Roper refrigerator door is misaligned, sagging, rubbing the cabinet, or not sealing properly, the fix is often straightforward. The most likely cause is a simple door adjustment: turning the lower hinge adjustment screw, adding plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, or loosening and retightening the top hinge to level the door. If adjustment does not solve it, worn or broken parts such as a damaged closing cam or a faulty closing mechanism commonly lead to doors that do not latch or sit square. Less commonly a bent or failing top hinge, bottom hinge, or door hinge will cause sag and poor sealing and will require replacement. Inspect the cam, mechanism, and hinges for wear, and replace the specific part if needed. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part and step-by-step instructions for your model so you can fix a fridge door not closing or a refrigerator door not sealing.

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).

02 - Roper 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.
