Inglis Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your Inglis refrigerator door is misaligned and not closing or the fridge door not sealing properly, start with the simple adjustments most likely to fix it. Many misaligned doors can be corrected by turning the lower hinge adjustment screws to raise or lower the door, adding plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, or loosening the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side, then retightening. If adjustments do not hold, the closing cam or closing mechanism is the next most likely cause; a worn cam or damaged mechanism can prevent the door from resting and latching correctly. Less commonly, bent or damaged top or bottom hinges and other door hinge components will cause sagging and a refrigerator door not closing. Inspect hinges, cams, and the closing mechanism for wear, cracks, or deformation and replace the defective part. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement hinge, closing cam, or closing mechanism part that fits your refrigerator and get straightforward repair parts and instructions to get the door aligned again.
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 - Inglis 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.
