LG Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned or not closing properly, start with the simple fixes first: most often the lower hinge or door adjustment needs attention—turn the adjustment screws, add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, and loosen and retighten the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side. If adjustment does not fix a fridge door not sealing or a refrigerator door not closing, the next likely culprits are a worn or broken closing cam or a damaged closing mechanism; these let the door rest oddly or fail to pull shut. Less common but still possible are a bent or damaged top hinge, bottom hinge, or the door hinge itself causing sag or uneven gaps, which can leave the fridge door not sealing or the freezer door not closing. Inspect the cam, mechanism, and hinges for wear, cracks, or bending and replace any faulty parts. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement closing cam, closing mechanism, hinge, or related part that fits your refrigerator and get clear repair steps and compatible parts for your model.
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 - LG 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.
