Hardwick Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned or the fridge door is not closing properly, you can often fix it yourself without calling a tech. The most likely cause is simple adjustment: many models have lower hinge adjustment screws you can turn to raise or lower the door, or you can add a plastic washer or shim to the hinge pin; loosening the top hinge screws lets you nudge the door side to side, then retighten. If adjustments do not stop the door from sagging or the refrigerator door not sealing, inspect the door closing cam for wear or damage next, followed by the closing mechanism assembly. Worn or bent hinges and hinge pins are common causes too and will require replacing the hinge or hinge pin to restore proper alignment. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hinge, closing cam, or closing mechanism 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 - Hardwick 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.
