Jenn Air Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your Jenn Air refrigerator door is not closing or the fridge door not sealing, start with the gasket: a twisted, kinked, or torn gasket is the most common cause and you can often smooth minor kinks with a hair dryer before replacing a damaged seal. If the gasket looks good, check the door catch or door cam next; a worn or broken cam will keep the door from latching and cause the door to pop open. After that inspect the bottom and top hinges for bends, cracks, or loose mounting hardware since a sagging hinge will prevent the door from aligning and closing, and on French door models check the door support and mullion heater flap which must sit correctly for a tight seal. Misalignment or a damaged hinge kit can usually be fixed with replacement parts and basic tools.
