03 - Refrigerator Door Support
A refrigerator door support is often used on French Door models to flip a mullion heater flap to seal the gap between the doors. If the door support is damaged or misaligned, the mullion heater flap may not be positioned appropriately for the door or doors to close completely. Inspect the support for damage and replace if necessary.

04 - Refrigerator Mullion Heater
French door refrigerators will often use a mullion heater flap which flips open as the two main doors are closed to provide a proper seal. If the mullion heater is misaligned or damaged, it can prevent the doors from closing properly. Inspect the mullion heater for any damage and replace it with a new one if necessary.

05 - Refrigerator Door Guide
A door guide is often used on French door refrigerators to assist in flipping open a mullion heater flap to provide a seal between the two main doors. If the guide is damaged or misaligned, the flap may not engage accurately and prevent the doors from closing properly. Inspect the door guide (often attached to the inner liner at the top of the frame) and replace it with a new one if necessary.

06 - Obstructed Door
The door bin may be hitting the shelf causing the door to stay slightly open. Food Items in the door bins and shelves can also keep the door from closing. Make sure the shelves and door bins are in the proper locations. Avoid overloading the door bins and shelves.
