Norge Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly or the fridge door is not sealing, start with the gasket—twists, kinks, or worn sections are the most common cause and a warped gasket can sometimes be smoothed with a hair dryer; replace it if it is damaged. Next check the door catch or door cam, since a worn or broken cam will prevent the door from latching. A sagging door is often the result of a bent or damaged bottom hinge, followed by problems with the top hinge, so inspect both hinges, mounting screws, and pivot points for wear or looseness. On French-door models a bad door support or a misaligned mullion heater flap can keep the doors from closing fully. If multiple hinge pieces show wear, a door hinge kit will restore alignment. These checks address the most likely reasons a refrigerator door will not close or a refrigerator door will not open properly.

A refrigerator door support is often used on French Door models to flip a mullion heater flap to seal the gap between the doors. If the door support is damaged or misaligned, the mullion heater flap may not be positioned appropriately for the door or doors to close completely. Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.
