Refrigerator door won't close properly

Possible cause: The handle on the door's opening side has jammed.. The door's held shut by a pair of locking pins - if they get knocked out of position, twisted, or jammed, the door can actually come away from the fridge altogether, and putting that right needs the appliance manufacturer's own instructions. More often, though, a door that won't close just has its handle (on the open side) caught - follow the manufacturer's instructions to free the handle.
