E-Wave Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned and not sealing or the freezer door sags, start with simple adjustments before you order parts. Most often a fridge door needs the lower-hinge height adjusted or a shim added to the hinge pin; many models have adjustment screws on the lower hinge and loosening the top hinge screws lets you shift the door side to side, then retighten. If adjustment does not fix the problem, inspect the door closing cam and the door closing mechanism for wear or damage—worn cams or bad closing mechanisms commonly let the door ride too high or fail to seat. Bent or damaged hinges and hinge pins are less common but still frequent causes of a refrigerator door not closing properly or a freezer door not closing. If you find a worn cam, mechanism, or hinge, RepairClinic carries the replacement parts you need; enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact part that fits your refrigerator and get step by step repair guidance.
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 - E-Wave 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.
