Electrolux Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your Electrolux refrigerator door is not opening or closing properly, start with the gasket — a twisted, kinked, or worn door gasket is the most common cause and can usually be smoothed with a hair dryer or replaced if damaged. Next check the door catch or cam; a worn or broken cam stops the door from pulling tight. Inspect the bottom hinge for bending or damage that lets the door sag, then the top hinge for similar issues. On French door models check the door support and mullion heater flap alignment, since a misaligned support can keep the doors from sealing. If multiple hinge components look suspect, a door hinge kit may be the right fix. These checks cover the likeliest reasons a refrigerator door will not close or a fridge door not sealing, and they explain why a freezer door might sag and not close. If you need replacement parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Electrolux gasket, door catch, hinge, support, or hinge kit that fits your appliance.

A refrigerator door support is often used on French Door models to flip a mullion heater flap to seal the gap between the doors.

Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.
