KitchenAid has been making appliances for over 100 years. Can you be more specific about your model, how old it is, and what you’ve tried so far to fix the problem?

Is the fridge level?

See page 9 for example leveling instructions. Make sure the refrigerator is level front-to-back and does not rock. Use a bubble level for accuracy. You can also use an Iphone as a level..

Level it and replace the gasket both. If all else fails, your floor may be too far gone out of level and need to be fixed.

Front to back, the angle should be minimal. Generally, manufacturers recommend the front of the refrigerator to be approximately 0.25 to 0.5 inches (6 to 13 mm) higher than the back. This should be enough for the doors to close on their own with enough force to make a complete seal without slamming shut. Side to side should be perfectly level.

I was looking for a pic of Squirrel's trailer in Dancer, TX, with it's refrigerator issue, but it appears to be too obscure to be on the nets.

Automobiles have handles inside the trunk that someone trapped inside can pull to open the lid. That feature may need to be added to refrigerators.

☝️True!

Also, overfilling your refrigerator could be keeping the door from closing fully.

^^Exactly. Out of level fridge with too much heavy stuff stored on the door.

Hi, The front legs should be adjustable. Take the grill off and adjust the leg longer. If you have a pry bar lift the front and slip a small piece of wood or something under the bar to hold the bar in place. adjust the legs longer and give it a try.

Good Luck Woodbutcher
