Evening all

This has bugged me for years but it seems to be getting worse. Every time I close my integrated fridge door it catches at the top And I now have to push it harder to close. I realise that is doesn’t help having splashback protruding on the side but originally the door closed flush.

Is the best way to remove the cabinet door (all the bolts and screws) and attempt to shift the fixtures slightly to give the extra few mm it needs to close. You can hopefully see in the photos the gap and lack of it at the top.

Thanks for any input.

Is that a slight gap top right? Perhaps the top hinge has become distorted. If so, and the hinge is readily removable, perhaps it could be bent back into shape.

Yes that’s a gap at the top right. I didnt consider that the hinge could be distorted though to remove it would still mean removing the integrated cabinet door.
