I over tightened the hex screw on the bottom because the popping never stopped and unfortunately it striped out. Is there anything I can do to fix it?:(

Reading several forums I looked at the bottom door jam, or whatever you want to call it. Sure enough the lil plastic "whatever" was loose. Except mine did not require an allen wrench (hex head). The bolt was approximately 5/16" or right at 8 mm. Did not have an offset, small 5/16 wrench - used an offset 8 mm and worked like a champ. The refrigerator door has to be opened almost 180 degrees to get to this bolt. Tighten the nut snugly and Viola - the popping noise stops. If you do not have "box end" wrenches, you may need to take off just the refrigerator door. No way a socket will fit in the space. Good luck "do-it-youselfers"

Gald the "fix" worked for you as well!! :)
Happy New Year and may it be your best!!

I tried this repair, but found that the hex bolt was not accessible because of the door. I found that the door is held on by three screws. I removed a plate cover from the top of the door which revealed the three screws. I removed them and then pulled the door off the swivel hinge. (I did it with food still in the door and would recommend removing the food first.)

setting the door aside, I tightened the hex bolt. I retraced my steps and put the door back up. I opened and closed a couple of times and found that the repair was successful.

Good Luck!

I tightened it but it only lessened the sound for a couple days. Now it's back in full force. Is there a part I should replace? Possible I didn't tighten enough but I doubt it. I have gs6nbexrb01

Thanks!
