Answer

SM, First check and make sure the refrigerator is level, and all four feet and rollers are on solid flooring. Replacing the upper spacers or thimbles won't make a difference, but the lower cam and closer WP2182179 WPW10329686 may compensate for 1/4 inch or so. You'll also need to remove the kickplate and check the door hinge W10138965 for being bent and or the mounting screws being loose. Check the door gasket especially in the lower corner to see if the edges have rolled over or are damaged. If Ok, wash the gaskets with hot soapy water, then apply a thin coat of "Vaseline" to the gasket surfaces to keep them soft and pliable.
