Roper Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly or the fridge door won’t seal, start with the gasket. A twisted, kinked, or torn door gasket is the most common cause; heat the gasket gently with a hair dryer to smooth minor kinks and replace it if damaged. If the gasket checks out, inspect the door cam or catch next — a worn or broken cam prevents the door from latching. Next likely culprits are a bent or damaged bottom hinge that lets the door sag and a faulty top hinge that keeps the alignment off, which can make the freezer door not close correctly as well. On French door models check the door support and mullion heater flap so the gap between doors seals fully. If multiple hinge components are compromised, a hinge kit may be the right fix. Repair Clinic carries all these parts and repair guides, and you can enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement parts that fit your refrigerator.
