Estate Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly, start with the gasket—kinks, twists or a compressed seal are the most common culprits. Run your hand around the gasket, smooth any kinks with a hair dryer, and replace the gasket if it is cracked or won’t seat. If the gasket looks fine, inspect the door catch or cam next; a worn or broken cam can keep the door from latching. A bent or damaged bottom hinge is a frequent cause of a sagging freezer or fridge door, with the top hinge and hinge kit also commonly at fault. On French door models check the door support or mullion heater flap alignment, since a misaligned support can prevent the doors from sealing. These checks will usually explain why your fridge door is not sealing, your refrigerator door not opening/closing properly, or why the freezer door not closing. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement gasket, hinge, cam or support for your refrigerator so you can get the right part and fix it yourself.

Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.
