U-Line Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your U-Line refrigerator door is misaligned and not closing properly, start with the simplest fix: hinge adjustment. Most of these problems come from the lower hinge setting or worn clearance that you can correct by turning the adjustment screws, adding plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, or loosening the top hinge screws to move the door side to side and then retightening. If adjustment does not cure a fridge door not sealing, inspect the door closing cam next — a worn or broken cam commonly allows the door to sit off-center. The closing mechanism itself can also fail and prevent the door from latching correctly, and bent or damaged top, bottom, or door hinges will cause sagging or uneven gaps that keep a refrigerator door from closing. Check parts for wear, replace any damaged cams or hinges, and reuse or replace shims as needed. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific refrigerator and get back to a properly sealed fridge.
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 - U-Line 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.
