LG Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your LG refrigerator door is not opening or closing properly, start by checking the door gasket for twists, kinks, or visible damage — a warped or worn gasket is the most common cause and can often be smoothed with a hair dryer or must be replaced if torn. Next inspect the door catch or door cam; a worn or broken cam will keep the fridge door from sealing. If the problem is a sagging or uneven door, examine the bottom hinge and top hinge for bends or damage and replace the hinge or hinge kit as needed. On French door models check the door support and mullion heater flap alignment, since a misaligned support can prevent the doors from closing tightly. These quick checks cover the most likely fixes when a refrigerator door not closing properly, a fridge door not sealing, or a freezer door not closing are the symptoms. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact LG replacement gasket, hinge, door cam, or support part you need and detailed repair steps tailored to your refrigerator.

A refrigerator door support is often used on French Door models to flip a mullion heater flap to seal the gap between the doors.

Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.
