For your convenience, the refrigerator doors have bottom hinges
with door closers. These closers allow the doors to swing fully
closed with just a gentle push.
IMPORTANT:
So that the closers feature will operate properly, the
doors must be removed only when open to a 90° angle to the front
of the cabinet. If one or both doors were not at a 90° angle when
removed, the bottom door hinge must be reset.
Reset the Door Hinge

Lift the door from the bottom hinge pin and place it on a flat
surface.
2.
Using a driver with a #2 square bit, remove the bottom hinge
with the bushing from the cabinet.
3.
Insert the bottom hinge and bushing into the corresponding
slot in the bottom of the door.
NOTE:
Make sure that the base of the hinge is parallel to the
bottom of the door.
4.
Turn the hinge until the hinge base is at a 90° angle to the
bottom edge of the door.
5.
Remove the hinge from the door. Using a driver with a
#2 square bit, reattach the bottom hinge to the refrigerator
cabinet.
6.
