Bosch Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your Bosch refrigerator door is not opening or closing properly, start by checking the door gasket — a kinked, twisted, or torn gasket is the most common cause and can often be smoothed with a hair dryer or must be replaced if damaged. Next inspect the door catch or cam; a worn cam will prevent the door from latching and cause the fridge door not sealing. After that look at the bottom hinge for bends or damage that let the door sag, then check the top hinge for similar problems. On French door models also check the door support and mullion heater flap to make sure the flap lines up for a proper seal. In many cases a hinge kit or replacement gasket fixes the problem quickly and cheaply. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement part for your specific refrigerator and get step by step parts and repair guidance to get the door closing like new.
01 - Bosch Refrigerator Door Gasket
