Empty out the fridge...or at least make sure the door bins aren't hitting stuff on the shelves. Close the door(s) on a dollar bill and slowly pull the bill out. If you feel resistance, your seals are ok, then check the adjustment of the striker plates. If the bill pulls through easily, then your door gaskets are shot which could result in the door not staying shut due to poor sealing....Dennis
