Came home after 5 days away and the fridge door wouldn't open! Finally got it open. Wiped down all mating surfaces, even though they looked clean. Rest of the day door was OK. Next morning, stuck again, although not as badly as before. The lower left corner is sticking. Feels like it is glued on. But I have wiped the surfaces clean with water and paper towel. First opening in the morning is the hardest. Easy all day, until next morning, stuck again. Clues wanted! Thanks.
Reason #1: Door closure cams: The cams are the parts the door rides on when it opens and closes. If the door closure cams are cracked or damaged, the door may not line up, resulting in the door not being able to close or open properly.
