Doors Not Closing Properly
What to check if your Whirlpool refrigerator door is not closing properly
If you are experiencing problems with your Whirlpool refrigerator door shutting, run through the following checklist to ensure it can close properly.
- Are there food packages blocking or preventing the door from closing
- Are the shelves or bins out of position
- Is the refrigerator level
- Are the door gaskets dirty, sticky, or damaged
- Is the ice bin out of position
Was your refrigerator recently installed?
If your refrigerator was recently installed, ensure all packaging has been removed. Some packaging used to avoid damage during shipping could keep the door from closing. Also, if the doors were removed during installation, check to ensure they were installed correctly. Doors that are incorrectly installed may not close or seal properly.
