This seemed to happen overnight. I need to now if this is a hinge problem. The door isn't sealing properly because of this. Also is it easy to repair.

Seems like the both door cam risers are worn out. The most efficient way is to order the lower door hinge kit which includes everything.

You have to remove the upper door hinge, pull the door straight up and remove it from the lower door hinge.

Thanks Gene, you mentioned both door cam risers. Is that one at the top and one at the bottom of the door or are both on the bottom?

Gene I answered my own question regarding the cams when I checked the part. Could you tell me if the cams are easy to replace though? Thanks.

The cam riser which is attached to the door is secured with a screw and it's easy to replace. The other cam riser is secured to the door hinge with a rivet and you have to have a new rivet and a special tool to replace it. That's why I recommended to order a whole lower door hinge.
