My Whirlpool side by side is about 16 years old. Something changed in the last week and the door no longer closes itself when pushed.  Used to be at 3/4 closed it would automatically close, I'd hear the seal closing.  A few days ago I got up in the morning only to find the door was partially open- all night.

Is there a nylon washer at the bottom of the door that might have worn down?  Nothing has changed, the contents of the door - a lot- have not changed, I have not moved the fridge in a year or so, installed it with a slight tilt back can't think of any other variable.  What happened?

Thanks, I vaguely remember  something at the bottom of the door, thought it was nylon, I'll check out appliancepartspro.com

I did by a back up last year, it's sitting in the garage as a secondary unit at the moment.  It's stainless where the WP is bisque and all the appliances are now stainless.  But--- I really like the WP much better than the Samsung I bought.  The shelving is fully adjustable in the WP where the Sammy is not.  The Sammy does have door in door so all the indoor stuff is easily available. 

At some point I'm going to update the countertops and perhaps paint out the golden oak cabinets I put in in the late 80's along with new hardware but that is down the line, then I'll swap out the fridges.

Ordered the part from Amazon, $6.99 should be here Sunday.  Looked at various videos not sue if I want to pull the door or not.  With the door in place looks a bit more difficult.  Luckily all the bins in the door are easily removable with out emptying them.  

think I'll opt for that method.

I'll have to mention this to my brother, he has the exact same fridge and whatever goes wrong with mine happens to him 2-3 months later.

About a 10 minute repair.  Wish all repairs were this quick and easy.

Never payed too much attention to it but this door system holds a MASSIVE amount of stuff.  Got to say it's one of the best designs I've seen. Luckily all the bins are lift off so no need to unload anything, but I do need to go through the stuff and toss a fair amount.   That's for a later day.
