That's normal. Don't shut it so hard. The only thing you can do to remedy this, is to replace the doorseals but, that's a pain, especially if they aren't very worn.

I have a Whirlpool Top-mount refrigerator. Whirlpool also manufactures many of the Kenmore refrigerators.
A few weeks ago I noticed a puddle of water on the top right
shelf in the refrigerator section. I figured out that it must be the water
that forms during the defrost cycle and normally drains down through a
tube in the back into an evaporator tray beneath the refrigerator. Something was preventing the water from draining away and instead it was dripping through the overflow holes from the freezer into the refrigerator section.
I emptied the freezer and took off the back panel. It
actually wouldn't come off at first because all the water beneath the
defrost heater which should have been draining out the drain hole was
frozen into one solid block of ice. I used a hair dryer to melt the ice
(took a while - be patient) and then took off the panel.
To melt all the rest of the ice in the drain tube I used the hair dryer. To clear out the ice in the drain tube, I used a turkey baster
and kept putting down hot water until I heard water making it down to
the evaporator tray beneath the refrigerator.
The following mod is "try at your own risk" (I wouldn't do this if you still have warranty coverage - call a tech instead):
I made this modification to prevent the problem from recurring (at
least that's the hope): Wrapped a piece of wire (unbent a large paper
clip) around the defrost cycle heater and stuck it into the drain hole.
The theory is that the wire will heat up every time the defrost cycle
runs and will keep the drain hole from freezing shut.
One thing I noticed during this repair concerns the drip pan beneath the defrost heater in the freezer (this is the pan that collects the water that is melted off the coils during defrosting). The drip pan does not seem to be angled properly so that the water will drain normally towards the drain hole. I guess water could remain behind then freeze later. I reported this to Whirlpool.
Even though I connected the waterline,there is no
BACK OF THE FRIDGE IS THE WATER VALVE. UNPLUG THE OUTLET WATER OF THE VALVES, LEAVE THE INLET CONNECTED. APPLY 120 TO THE VALVE AND SEE IF WATER COMES OUT. MOST LIKELY YOU HAVE TWO VALVE, WATER AND ICE. IF THEY BOTH WORK, YOU HAVE A BAD MODULE IN THE ICEMAKER

Fridge not cold
my freezer is over freezing and my fridge is not cold. I have a whirlpool where the freezer is on top and the fridge is on the bottom. I need guidence in trying to figure out the problem.
Refrigerator not that cold and freezer not freezing well
between the door and freezer is very hot, and the refrigerator is not that cold and the freezing is freezing but not that well, ice cream is soft but meat freeze and ice is not melting. Also behind the fridge at the bottom is very hot.
Freezer gets fool of frost on walls of freezer only
if its both sides and the top... possible causes; door not sealing all the way around, icemaker stalling and heating raising temp in freezer, or the airflow is blocked.... if it is frosting only on the back wall its a defrost issue..... more info is needed to narrow this down for you
