Fixing common door seal and alignment problems
Door issues are easy to overlook but often lead to cooling problems, condensation and overworked compressors.
Door won’t close tightly or pops open
This may be caused by a damaged gasket or door hinge issue. Follow our step-by-step guide to replace a door gasket in a side-by-side fridge, or see how to align the doors on a French door fridge.
If the seal isn’t creating a tight connection, cold air escapes and humidity builds up. Learn how to fix a fridge door seal or replace a foamed-in-place gasket.

Inglis refrigerator FAQs
Q: Why is there ice on the back wall of my fridge?
A: This usually indicates a defrost system failure. Check the defrost thermostat, timer, or heater for damage and replace as needed.
Q: Can I replace my Inglis refrigerator’s temperature control board myself?
A: Yes. If your fridge is running warm or doesn’t respond to settings, replacing the temperature control board is often a straightforward repair.
Q: Why does my fridge smell even after cleaning it?
A: Hidden food spills, clogged drains or mold in the drip pan can trap odors. Use baking soda or charcoal filters to absorb lingering smells.
Q: Do I need to replace my refrigerator’s air filter?
A: Yes. Replacing the air filter every 6 months helps reduce odors and prevents mold or bacteria from forming inside the fridge.
Q: Why is my Inglis refrigerator making popping or cracking sounds?
A: That’s typically normal. It happens as plastic expands and contracts during cooling cycles—but loud, frequent noises could mean ice buildup or a faulty fan.
Q: How do I fix a frozen water dispenser line?
A: Try defrosting the dispenser area with a hairdryer or warm cloth. If the problem recurs, check for gaps around the door gasket or install a line heater.
