Refrigerator door doesn't stay closed

SOURCE: Kitchen Aid Superba - door needs adjustment

there is two bolts oin the very front of the unit behind the kickplate the oiu can turn clock wise until there is a slight tile toward the back of the unit so that the cams on the doors will have a little bit of gravity to helop them stay shut.

The lower hinge on each door may have a door closing cam. It raises the door up ¼ inch when opening and this assist in closing the door. If it’s wore out and doesn’t work the door may not seal and the gasket can be damaged. Watch the operation of the door to see if it rises up when opened.

Part 12 on this diagram is your cam. http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/getSubComp.pd?modelNumber=KSRB27FHSS02&productCategoryId=0165000&brandId=0593&modelName=SIDE-BY-SIDE-REFRIGERATOR&diagramPageId=00006&componentDescription=REFRIGERATOR%20DOOR&documentId=O2030395&backToLink=Return%20to%20Sub%20Components%20list

Try to re-adjust the appliance so it is level and tips backwards slightly. You'll have gravity on your side to help keep the door closed. You will need help tipping the unit while adjusting the levelers underneath.

Also make sure the appliance is sitting on a solid surface and isn't somehow twisted, which will place stress on the box and possibly cause the issue you describe.

Make sure the unit is not overloaded and that the gasket surfaces are clean. After only 5 years, the magnetic gaskets should not be worn out.

CHECK THAT THE BOTTOM DRAWERS CRISPERS AND SUCH ARE ON TRACK AND THE SHELF THAT THEY RIDE ON IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE. ALSO LOOK IF SOME CONTAINER IS CONTACTING THE DOOR, IT IS NORMALLY THE BOTTOM DRAWERS THE DOOR SEAL IS MAGNETIC. MAKE SURE THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CANTED WHERE THE BOTTOM OR TOP CONTACTS FRIG SEPARATE, SHOULD BE AT SAME TIME.
