Estate Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your Estate refrigerator door is misaligned and the fridge door not sealing or not closing properly, start with simple adjustments—the most likely cause. Check the lower hinge for adjustment screws you can turn to raise or lower the door, add plastic washers or shims to the lower hinge pin if needed, and loosen the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side before retightening. Next most likely causes are a worn or damaged closing cam or closing mechanism that prevents the door from resting and latching correctly, so inspect those parts for wear and replace them if they do not hold the door in place. Less common but still possible are a bent or damaged top hinge, bottom hinge, or door hinge that lets the door sag or bind. Support the door while you inspect or loosen fasteners and replace any cracked or bent hinge parts. If you need replacement parts like a closing cam, hinge kit, or shims, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact 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 - Estate 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.
