Door is rubbing at the bottom of fridge. Can it be adjusted?

Is there a way to adjust door? It's rubbing at the bottom. Door is not closing properly?

    @ uno online: Most refrigerator doors have hinges that can be adjusted. Look for adjustment screws on the top and bottom hinges of the door. Loosen these screws slightly, reposition the door to the desired position (higher or lower to avoid rubbing), and then tighten the screws again.

How do I realign the fridge door with a top mount freezer

The top to bottom alignment is done by moving the hinges up/down. On many models there may also be plastic spacers on the hinge pins you can use to adjust the height.The closing of the door so it shuts properly and is flush on all 4 sides is done by adjusting the screws that hold the door gasket in place. If you've never done it before it can be a real pain to get it right. Make small adjustments to the screws and if need be grab the door at the center top and center bottom and give it a small tug in opposite directions to get it straight, if you have to. To test if its closing properly, look at the edge of the gasket all around it should be the same distance from the body of the fridge, use a mirror to see the bottom. To test if its sealing properly use a dollar bill. Close the bill in between the gasket and the door in areas all around the door, When you pull on the bill you should feel resistance, if the bill is not held in or pulls out easily the gasket is not sealing properly at that location, you need to adjust the screws to get it aligned better.

Fridge door squeaks, freezer door bumps

Slacken the three screws, align the door and tighten the screws up again. Try not to lean on the door when it's open.

I have a Northland freezer/fridge side by side unit. Model # NM118. The door on the refrigerator side is not properly aligned with respect to the door on the fridge side. The refrigerator side door is...

Start by making sure the box is square -- that the doors are perfectly parallel across the top, with respect to the outside of the box. You fix that problem by adjusting the front feet on the fridge to square up the box. If the doors are all square and the fridge door is still low, look for some adjustment in the bottom door bracket - may have some slots where you can loosen mounting screws and adjust upwards. This may take two people or a lever (maybe a piece of lumber) as you have to raise the door while you're making the adjustment. OR remove the top bracket, remove the door and set it aside then try adjusting the bottom bracket and replacing the door and top bracket.

Both the freezer and fridge doors hinge on the right, and the left hand side has sagged a little so neither neither door is sealing properly. How do I adjust the doors to raise the left side of the...

The lower hinge on each door may have a door closing cam. It raises the door up ¼ inch when opening and this assist in closing the door. If it's wore out and doesn't work the door may not seal and the gasket can be damaged. Watch the operation of the door to see if it rises up when opened.

Leave the door shut and let the magnetic gasket hold the door in place. Put something between the bottom of the door and the floor to hold it in case it slips.
Remove the bracket holding the pin and hinge assembly taking note of order of removal of parts. Slide new cams on. You probably need two.

I have an Inglis fridge and when door is closed there is about a1/8 of a inch space between the seal at the top and fridge . Bottom seals properly

That can be caused by hardening of the bottom seal due to ice build up in the seal or the door hinges need adjusting by loosening the lower hinge and pulling it out slightly to compensate for the door seal.

Freezer door opens easily

The freezer door has a rubber gasket fitted with magnet beading. In case the gasket is torn or the magnet strip is missing due to continuous use the door does not close. Just replace the gasket and you will see that the door does not open unless you physically open it.

Freezer door rubbing

take the freezer door off and put a washer or two on the bottom hinge. sometimes there are extra plastic washers on the top hinge that you can move to the bottom to lift it up.
also check if the hinge is bent or loose, as this may cause the problem.
