Gibson Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your Gibson refrigerator door is misaligned, not closing, or the fridge door not sealing, start with basic door adjustment: many models have lower hinge adjustment screws you can turn to raise or lower the door, or you can add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin; loosening the top hinge screws lets you nudge the door side to side before retightening. If adjustments do not fix the gap or sag, inspect the door closing cam next, since a worn cam can prevent the door from seating properly. A failing closing mechanism is the next likely culprit and can stop the door from resting or latching correctly. Finally check the top and bottom hinge hardware for bends, damage, or worn hinge pins that let the door sag. You can usually replace the cam, closing mechanism, or hinge parts to restore alignment. Enter your refrigerator model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement parts and diagrams that fit your Gibson fridge so you can make the repair with confidence.
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 - Gibson 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.
