Electrolux refrigerator door not closing properly | Fix Guide
Start with visible causes: food, bins, shelves, a twisted or dirty gasket, a cabinet or wall touching the refrigerator, or an uneven floor. Electrolux also notes that leveling and frost can affect closing, but door alignment hardware and self-closing behavior vary by refrigerator style and model. Do not force the door or adjust hinges without the exact owner or installation instructions.
