Thimble

Hi Rob, thank you for reaching out to PartSelect. One reason your refrigerator is not staying closed is that the gasket, part number PS11731330, or seal, around the door is damaged. The gasket can also be pulled out of place as well. If it’s not sealing it will prevent the natural suction that occurs when the gasket closes on the fridge and can make it stay loose. A dirty gasket can also cause issues with the seal. Clean it by using a damp cloth and soapy water. Wipe down the entire gasket, getting into all the nooks and crannies. Once it’s clean, rinse it off with clean water and dry it completely. If your refrigerator door is not staying closed, it could also be because the door is not aligned properly. This can happen if the fridge is bumped or moved. To fix this, you will need to adjust the hinges, part numbers PS11739980, PS10065556, and hinge pin PS10061972. First, open the door and then loosen the screws that hold the hinge in place. Next, move the door until it is aligned properly, and then tighten the screws. Another reason the door might not be staying closed is that the refrigerator is not level. If the fridge is not level, it can cause the door to swing open. It can also prevent it from sealing properly. To fix this, you will need to level the fridge. If this does not help you will need to replace the door thimble, part number PS11740348. You can do this by adjusting the legs on the bottom of the fridge. We hope this information helps!
