Montgomery Wards Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing or you notice the fridge door not sealing, start by checking the door gasket for kinks, twists, or tears — a warped or worn gasket is the most common cause and you can often smooth minor kinks with a hair dryer before replacing the seal. If the gasket looks fine, inspect the door catch or cam next; a worn or broken cam will keep the door from seating properly. After that look at the bottom and top hinges for bending, damage, or worn pivot points that let the door sag, and check any door support or mullion heater flap on French door models since misalignment there can prevent a full seal. In many cases a hinge kit or replacement cam fixes the problem quickly. Repair Clinic carries all of these parts and step by step guidance, and you can enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your refrigerator.
