When I close my fridge door a bit hard, it pops back open a bit, and I don't realize it until the next time I go to take something out of it. My previous fridge had the ability to be put on an incline, so I just needed to give the door a gentle push and then gravity would cause the door to close well.
This fridge doesn't have that. Any ideas what I can do? Closing it softly doesn't solve it, because when I do so it often doesn't fully close. (I wonder if vaseline might help)
Thank you
The seal on your door may not be sealing properly, when you close the door the seal helps create a vacuum which keeps your door closed firmly, you might need to replace the door seal, you could also try leveling your fridge by putting shimmys underneath the feet, you might also want to check to make sure there is nothing sticking out of your fridge such as drawers or food racks that may keep the door from closing all the way. good luck.
A shim is a thin strip of material used for leveling purposes, sometimes appliances have to be shimmed if there not on a level surface by placing the shim under the feet of the appliance. for example, if the appliance sits to high in the back you would place a shim under the front feet both left and right side this would bring it at the same level as the back end.

That was very helpful. Thank you. So I guess you don't think vaseline would help.
(What are "shimmys"?)
Thanks very much. You've been a great help.
