Arctic Air Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your fridge door is misaligned or the refrigerator door not closing properly, start with the simplest fix: check the door adjustment. Many models have lower hinge adjustment screws or let you add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, and loosening the top hinge screws often lets you shift the door side to side—just retighten after aligning. If adjustment does not stop the fridge door misaligned problem, inspect the closing cam and the closing mechanism next; worn cams or mechanisms can keep the door from seating and cause the fridge door not sealing. Finally, look for bent or damaged hinges, including top or bottom hinge assemblies, which will require replacement if they are distorted or cracked and can make the freezer door sag or prevent the refrigerator door from closing. You can search RepairClinic.com with your model number to find the exact replacement closing cam, hinge, or adjustment parts that fit 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 - Arctic Air 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.
