One of the most common reasons to buy a new refrigerator is because the door of the old one has failed. And that’s because the unit fails if your refrigerator door won’t close properly.
The Main Causes Why Your Refrigerator Door Won`t Stay Closed Properly
Before you call North Country Appliance Repair Company for your refrigerator repair, it`s important to figure out the reason why the door won’t close. There may be several reasons:
- The hinges are worn out. If the appliance is hard to close and open, the refrigerator door is stiff even with effort, the hinges have probably not been oiled for a long time and became stiff.
- Forward Tilt. Not much attention is paid to the installation of refrigeration equipment, but if the kitchen floor is uneven and the appliance is tilted forward, it will be difficult to close it tightly. To restore balance, you will either have to level the floor or move the appliance.
- False sensor signal. If the door of the built-in Kitchenaid or Whirlpool refrigerator does not close, but there is no visual defects and no other reasons are found, but the door closing sensor does not silence, it may be faulty. The manual usually tells you how to turn it off. To fix the problem, call us, professionals at North Country Appliance Repair Company.
