Thank you! You saved our fridge!

I have this exact same fridge. It's very annoying because the owner manual does suggest that there is a door adjustment hinge pin which you can adjust with a 1/8 hex screw. But the screw is NOT THERE on my model. This is a subpar fridge by KitchenAid.

You should be able to adjust each door individually with a hex key/allen wrench. Open the bottom freezer; look under the top refrigerator door you want to adjust on the hinge side; use the hex key on the adjustment screw. Clockwise will raise it, CCW lowers it. Leveling your doors this way ensures your gaskets seal properly. If you open the top and bottom doors there should be a sticker illustrating how to do this right on the refrigerator. This may be all you need to do to have the left door close properly. YMMV

I just Jerry-rigged mine and it’s smooth as butter 🧈

Brilliant!!!! Thank you 🙏!

Thank you so much, brother. You literally helped me just now

GENIUS! I’ve been struggling with this for months. Many thanks.🎉

It's absolutely awful that these appliances cost $3K and up and to have to remanufacture a purchased refrigerator is downright absurd! What about seniors without the knowledge you have young man? Now I have to pay a serviceman to come and finish installing, and doing a factory remake.

Thanks! Kitchenaid's solution to this issues was completely, totally, lame.

This was very helpful. Thank you!!

Lifesaver. Such an easy fix. Thanks for the video

Omg you are a genius! Thank you for your insight it worked perfectly!!! I have been dealing with this issue for such a long time. 😊

Bar-Sto barrels makes a 9mm conversion drop in barrel for less than a conversion kit. They're around 250

Picked mine up on Wednesday and took it out to the range last night. Ran great. The only time I could imagine the trigger having that super heavy pull without being cocked is pulling a second time on a light primmer strike. I don't see that as an issue. Can't say it's the fastest shooting gun. You really have to follow that trigger all the way back to keep it accurate for each shot. It's going to take some getting used to for me even though I regularly shoot DA revolvers. I hear it can be converted to DA/SA with the right parts, but that's a future project. Overall, it's a great gun and a great deal.

Amazing. All I needed to do was loosen the left screw on top. Didn’t even need to put the cardboard in! Genius thank you!!

Thanks Jerry! Quickest/easiest way to fix this issue.

Hey Jerry, thanks for this helpful suggestion. Had the same issue and your method worked great. Another option, which would be far more annoying to deal with, would be to put washers/spacers in the lower door hinge. Fortunately this was a much simpler and quicker fix. You are appreciated!!

Just found this video after wasting an hour trying to find a way to level my left door. Great hack, thanks for posting this!

Very nice. Mine is doing the same thing. Thanks for the video.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I got my Kitchenaid fridge 5 years ago and the door has never closed properly. I live in a rural area - only one guy that services appliances up here. He came and fiddled with the door, didn't solve the problem. For 5 years I've been having to manually flip the mullion to get the door closed. So I tried this trick - cardboard wasn't thick enough but I had some wood shims that were very thin at the one end so I cut a bit off the end and inserted it to lower that one little piece and voila! My door closes perfectly now.

Its bad enough the door height isn't adjustable on this particular model, but total design flaw that would have easily prevented by adequate quality control. That bar barely caught the latch on my fridge when it was new, after a few months started having this same issue. I thought there had to be a way to just adjust the door height but there is not.

The trouble shooting for kitchen Aid is terrible. Thanks for the information.

Thank you !!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! My mother had this problem - worked like a charm!! Save alot of money for my 90+ year old financically!!

The bottom of the right door has an adjuster that can be raised with an Allen, the left does not. unfortunately my left needed to go up.

Jerry, this worked for me. Thanks a bunch! Your 10 minute saved me the $350 a repairman was going to charge to replace the entire inside panel.

Thank you! Same exact issue. We just moved into a home with this refrigerator and struggled with a faulty left door for a couple months. Decided to search for a resolution. Fixed in 5 minutes. Shame that KitchenAid offers no fix to raise the left door at the door hinge.

I've had this problem for quite some time.. I too tried the adjustment at the bottom of the fridge which didn't work. With this trick the problem was solved. It only took 10 minutes to do! Thank you soooo much for posting this quick fix!

Worked! I appreciate you sir!

Amazing. Thank you. I no longer hate my fridge!

Well dah! I feel like a stooge for not thinking of this! Instead of raising the left door (stupid design IMHO) of the refrigerator, lower the 'catch bracket'. I used a thin rubber (or metal) washer instead of the cardboard shim. Works great!!!! Thanks for the obvious tip! I never did understand leveling the door via the refrigerator levels!😀

Yep. Amazing work work here. Saves a whole lotta work and potentially money to fix it any other way. Nice one !

EXACTLY the issue I'm having with our GE. Thanks for sharing.

Well done Jerry. I actually wrapped a wire-tie at the bottom of the door shaft in the gap to raise the door. Just another idea.

Brilliant. Have been struggling with this same problem for a while now. So thankful to have discovered your channel and a solution.

Thank you! Been having this issue for a while... Didn't think to adjust the piece that "catches" the door.

Thank you so much for this! Our door would not close for weeks on its own! We did everything! THIS did the truck! Amazing!

The doors on most of these side by side fridges are not adjustable, even though some of the owners manuals say that you can adjust the height of each door with an Allen Wrench. Just lowering the door catch was a great solution and worked perfectly.

Got the same problem. Was wondering about that idea. Thanks for the info !!

It worked! Thanks for the tip!

can also tell you if a Whirlpool Door with the ice maker and water dispenser on the left door won't close and seal properly-- CHECK inside the door where the light switch makes contact. It took me about two days of examination trying to figure out what was wrong. The door "acted" like it was out of square but what had actually happened was where the door rocker switch made contact with the door, it created an indention in the vinal of the door, thus keeping the switch from compressing properly, forcing the door ajar and the Ice maker and water dispenser to not operate, It would depress just enough to keep the "open door" light from coming on..

Jerry… you are my hero!!! Been struggling with the same issue! Your solution is BRILLIANT!!! This morning in 10 minutes I was able to fix the door!!!! Love people who are intelligent and “out of the box” thinkers!!! You are correct, this should be in the manual!!! Bless you!!!!

YOU ARE A GENIUS MY FRIEND. Three years of fighting with the fridge door and nagging from the wife and half a day of UA-cam searching and I found you my Saviour!!!!

two years passed but if anyone watching this: to move the door up and down there is 1/8 hex bolt under the door, you have to use allen key that came with the fridge to put on the handles and put it in from the bottom (not all models have this) this way you wont need to shim the catch and the bar (mullion heater) will sit higher

If I close the freezer door, the frig door opens !! Any suggestions? I cleaned gasket,

I was looking for a fix and the manual was absolutely not helpful. Now the door closes as it should hank you.

Thanks Jerry, has anyone had an issue with water dripping from the water dispenser??

Super smart.. will do this today! Thank you!!

Awesome solution! Thank you!

Thanks Jerry. Mine was a loose screw. on that top piece that catches the hinge. I have tightened it and the fridge seems to be fine. Thanks for your help. I would not have known where to even begin without your video.
