E-Wave Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly or your fridge door not sealing, start with the door gasket — a twisted, kinked, or worn gasket is the most common cause and you can often smooth minor kinks with a hair dryer before replacing a damaged seal. If the gasket looks fine, check the door catch or cam next; a worn or broken cam will keep the door from pulling fully shut. After that inspect the bottom and top hinges for bends or damage that let the door sag, and on French-door models check the door support and mullion heater flap alignment so the doors meet evenly. Many repairs are a simple swap of a door gasket, catch, hinge, or hinge kit, and replacing the faulty part will stop air leaks and keep the freezer and fridge temperatures stable. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement parts and step-by-step instructions for your specific refrigerator.
01 - E-Wave Refrigerator Door Gasket

04 - E-Wave Refrigerator Top Hinge
A damaged or bent bottom hinge could cause the freezer door to sag and not close properly. Inspect the hinge for defects and replace if necessary.
Common
05 - E-Wave Refrigerator Door Support
A refrigerator door support is often used on French Door models to flip a mullion heater flap to seal the gap between the doors. If the door support is damaged or misaligned, the mullion heater flap may not be positioned appropriately for the door or doors to close completely. Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.
Common
06 - E-Wave Refrigerator Door Hinge Kit
A damaged or bent bottom hinge could cause the freezer door to sag and not close properly. Inspect the hinge for defects and replace if necessary.
