Frigidaire Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your fridge door is misaligned and the refrigerator door is not closing properly, start with the simple fixes that solve most problems. The most likely cause is a need for refrigerator door adjustment: turn the lower hinge adjustment screw to raise or lower the door, add a plastic washer or shim to the lower hinge pin, and loosen the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side, then retighten. If adjustments do not correct the issue, inspect the closing cam and closing mechanism for wear or damage, since a worn cam can keep the door from seating and make the fridge door not sealing. Less likely but still common are bent or damaged top or bottom hinges that allow the door to sag. Check hinge bolts and the hinge assembly and replace any worn parts. A properly aligned door fixes sealing and cooling problems and prevents unnecessary compressor run time. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com 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 - Frigidaire 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.
