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. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement gasket, hinge, cam, or door support for your specific refrigerator.
