Ofredo for Model Number T8TXNGFWQ00

This 9-year-old refrigerator has the hinge on the right. The top of the freezer door sticks out at the hinge to where this door sometimes just opens. The bottom of the freezer door aligns with the refrigerator door top and all appear to be correct. If this bracket had slots instead of holes I could probably line it up by bringing the top of the door in about 3/8". On your website it is WP2261963 and I do not see a video addressing this. The door moves freely and I am told this has been an issue for a long time. Suggestions or proper part information would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

Hello Ofredo,
In most cases what has happened is that the thimble WP2183003 has worn so it now has a slot instead of a round hole. When replaced and lubricated, it corrects the issue of the top of the door leaning out from the cabinet. You should also check the door gasket for any possible damage since this condition can stress it.
