RCA Refrigerator door(s) misaligned
If your RCA refrigerator door is misaligned or the fridge door not sealing and not closing properly, start with the simplest fixes first: most often the lower hinge needs a tweak—turn the adjustment screws or add plastic washers or shims to the hinge pin, and loosen the top hinge screws to shift the door side to side before retightening. If that does not correct the problem, inspect the door closing cam next; a worn or broken cam can prevent the door from latching and leave it crooked. The closing mechanism as a whole is the next likely culprit, followed by a bent or damaged top hinge, bottom hinge, or door hinge that allow the door to sag. Check for visible wear, bent parts, or stripped screws and replace any damaged components. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement hinge, cam, or closing mechanism that fits your refrigerator and get step by step parts guidance for a secure repair.
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 - RCA 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.
