Dacor Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is sagging, rubbing, or not closing securely, start with the simple adjustments first. Most misaligned doors are fixed by adjusting the lower hinge screws or adding thin washers or shims to the hinge pin, and by loosening the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side before retightening. If adjustment does not solve the problem, inspect the closing cam and the door closing mechanism for wear or damage, since a worn cam or faulty closing mechanism can keep the door from seating properly. Less likely but still possible causes include a bent or damaged top or bottom hinge that needs replacement. Whether you call it a refrigerator door not closing properly, a fridge door not sealing, or a refrigerator door misaligned, these steps cover the most common faults and parts to check. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement hinge, closing cam, or closing mechanism that fits your unit so you can get the right part and get the door back to square.
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 - Dacor 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.
