Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:

Was okay, now need to give the door a push

Help. Suddenly my frig door will not close on its own, like it used to. Is there a trick to fixing it? It drives me crazy. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi, the door could be twisted if it doesn't seal all the way around. To straighten loosen the screws under the gasket, get it fitting right then retighten.

The door does seal closed fine, I just have to give the door a big PUSH, to close. Any tips for that?

Yes, sometimes the hinge can slip then the liner, the plastic on the inside of the door, butts up against the inside of the cabinet, not enough to prevent it closing but enough to cause you to have to give it an extra push. You didn't mention what kind it is so I can't give you specific advice but
usually if you loosen the top hinge on the refrigerator side of the cabinet, lift the door up then retighten, the problem is resolved.
