Goldstar Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned, sagging, or not closing and sealing properly, start with the basics: most often a simple lower-hinge adjustment or adding shims will re-level the door and restore a good seal. If adjustment doesn’t fix it, inspect the closing cam and the door closing mechanism next — worn cams or assemblies can prevent the door from seating and let the fridge door not close properly. After that check the top and bottom hinge for bent or broken parts; a damaged hinge or hinge pin will cause persistent alignment problems and may need replacement. Loosening the top hinge screws can let you shift the door side to side while you realign it, and be sure to retighten after any change. Have your model number ready; enter it on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Goldstar replacement hinge, closing cam, or closing mechanism for your refrigerator so you get the right part the first time.
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 - Goldstar 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.
