Bosch Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your Bosch refrigerator door is sagging or the doors sit uneven and won’t close right, the fix is usually simpler than you think. Most often the problem is just an alignment issue you can correct by adjusting the lower hinge screw, adding a plastic washer or shim to the hinge pin, or loosening the top hinge screws and nudging the door side to side before retightening. If adjustment doesn’t solve it, worn or damaged parts like the door closing cam or the closing mechanism are common culprits and can prevent the door from settling into place. Less likely but still possible are bent or damaged top or bottom hinges and door hinge assemblies that need replacement. Check the cams and hinges for wear, replace any broken hardware, and retest the seal so the fridge door seals properly. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement hinge, cam, or closing mechanism that fits your refrigerator and get the parts and instructions you need to finish the repair.
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 - Bosch 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.
