Inglis Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly or the fridge door not sealing, start by checking the door gasket first — a kinked, twisted, or worn gasket is the most common cause; you can sometimes smooth kinks with a hair dryer, but a damaged seal needs replacement. If the gasket looks good, next inspect the door cam or catch, since a worn cam can keep the door from pulling in fully. After that check the bottom and top hinges for bending or damage that lets the door sag, and on French-door models inspect the door support and mullion heater flap for misalignment. Loose or damaged hinge kits can also prevent the door from closing squarely and should be replaced if worn. Work methodically: look for visible wear, test door swing and seal with a sheet of paper, and replace the offending part.

The door cam helps the door to close. If the door cam is worn or broken the door may not close properly. Inspect the door cam for damage, and replace it if needed.
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.
