Modern Maid Refrigerator door not opening/closing properly
If your refrigerator door is not closing properly, start by checking the gasket. Most often a twisted, kinked, or worn door gasket keeps the seal from forming, which is the most common cause of a fridge door not sealing. Run your hand around the edge, look for tears or folds, and warm small kinks with a hair dryer to reshape the rubber; replace the gasket if it is torn or permanently deformed. If the gasket looks fine, inspect the door catch or cam next, since a worn or broken catch will prevent the door from latching. Bent or damaged hinges are the next likely culprit: a failing bottom hinge often lets the door sag, which can affect the freezer door alignment too, and a bad top hinge will also keep doors from closing squarely. On French door or mullion models check the door support and mullion heater flap alignment. Most of these problems are fixed by replacing the gasket, catch, hinge, or support. Enter your refrigerator model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your unit.
