A model-specific approach
Check shelf obstruction, cabinet level, hinges, alignment and the condition of the magnetic gasket.
The exact model and operating conditions determine which tests apply. These are possible inspection directions, not a list of components that must be changed.
Remove items that protrude beyond the shelf edge and show where the gap remains.
Record the timing, previous work and accessible model label. Do not remove covers or handle live, refrigerant or pressurised components to obtain information.
Completion
The door should close evenly without force, with sealing checked around the full perimeter.
Discuss which operation was checked and what to observe during normal use. Keep the service date, model and work description if you need to report the symptom again.

The door springs open, hangs unevenly or leaves a gap. Note when it begins and whether another function still works.
Replacing a gasket will not correct a bent hinge or a container preventing the door from seating. Compare that explanation with the actual operating conditions before describing the symptom as a failed component.
Check shelf obstruction, cabinet level, hinges, alignment and the condition of the magnetic gasket. Internal electrical, pressurised and refrigerant work should be handled by a suitable technician.
Remove items that protrude beyond the shelf edge and show where the gap remains. Keep those observations with the model number so the technician can reproduce the reported conditions.
The door should close evenly without force, with sealing checked around the full perimeter. Use these observations to describe progress; do not treat one short run as proof that an intermittent issue has ended.
No. This guide explains the inspection route; it cannot establish a component diagnosis remotely. Replacing a gasket will not correct a bent hinge or a container preventing the door from seating.
Use the full refrigerator model code, not just the brand. Check shelf obstruction, cabinet level, hinges, alignment and the condition of the magnetic gasket.
Stop if there is smoke, a burning smell, dangerous movement or water near electrical parts. Isolate supplies only if safe. Remove items that protrude beyond the shelf edge and show where the gap remains.
Yes. Record from a safe position without removing covers. The door springs open, hangs unevenly or leaves a gap. Capture that behaviour if it occurs naturally.
