Modern Maid Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your refrigerator door is misaligned, leaving the fridge door not sealing or the refrigerator door not closing properly, start with basic door adjustment—that is the most likely fix. Turn the lower hinge adjustment screw to raise or lower the door, add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin if needed, and loosen the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side, then retighten everything after alignment. If adjustment does not fix the problem, inspect the closing cam and the door closing mechanism for wear or damage, since a worn cam or mechanism commonly causes a fridge door to hang open or fail to latch. Next check the top hinge, bottom hinge and door hinge for bends, cracks or stripped fasteners; bent or damaged hinge parts will let the door sag. These checks and repairs are straightforward with basic hand tools, and RepairClinic carries Modern Maid closing cams, closing mechanisms and hinge parts.

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 - Modern Maid 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.
