The door of the refrigerator will not seal tightly when closed. I will appreciate any advice concerning how to repair the refrigerator to correct that problem.

Highdown,

You didn't supply a proper model number,

But,

Try this,

Roll the door gasket/seal back and away from the inner plastic door liner, look behind the gasket for numerous screws that hold the door liner and the door gasket/seal to the door panel.

If that's the case, remove all articles on the door shelves, and loosen the screws(don't remove) in the area of the part of the door that's not sealing, with a small block of wood(or something that wont damage the paint) inserted between the door and the front flange of the compartment, lightly push in on the door panel, until you achieve a proper seal, then tighten the door liner screws.

You should also check the perimeter of the liner for cracks and chips of plastic missing from the liner, a few small cracks or chips usually wont make for a problem, a lot or large pieces missing could.

If you need more assistance, or you don't have this style door, please supply a proper model number, so we can assist you more efficiently.

:) :) :)
