Hi, my fridge is having a problem where the door cannot be closed tightly. Initially I was thinking to buy a replacement door seal, but then noticed that actually the door alignment seems has ran off a bit. Referring to the picture below, the gap at the top side is around 16mm, but at the bottom it's only 10mm. With this huge deviation, I think it's the reason why the door can't be closed tightly. I tried to look around at the hinges, but can't seems to find anything that can adjust the door alignment. May I know if anyone has the same problem before? And how did you solve the problem? Thanks

Try replacing the seal. Now can buy online one. Look for your refrigerator made and model

You probably put too much weights on the door shelves.
Try to adjust the door hinge
