Hanging crooked

I really find your web site extremely helpful. My refrigerator door is somewhat hanging crooked. How do I straighten and realign it?

If you look at the front of the refrigerator with the doors closed and the door edges don’t match the cabinet edges, you need to adjust the hinges. Loosen the screws (sometimes you may have to pop a decorative cover off first to expose) and slide the door into the correct position, then retighten.

If the door is straight on the frame but twisted so it doesn’t seal all the way around, loosen the screws underneath the seal down the side that doesn't close. Give the door a twist and tighten the screws in the appropriate position.
