And for future reference, chaining slaves to refigerator door handles is usually a bad idea - around the base of toilet bowls usually provides a much safer hitching post due to the anchor bolts.

Oh yeah...sink is closer to the toilet bowl, but also not a secure hitching post.

I thought you needed duct tape and bailing wire and WD-40?

Take the top hinge point off, reposstion the bottom hinge point tighten it really well, if it is bent you may have to straighten it back out or replace it, put the door back on the botom hinge point then slide the top hinge point over the door and reattach it to the fridge.

Sorry I meant pahunka.

Just had a thought, the door didn't fall on you did it and cause you to be a little confused ?

If it's a modern fridge, those hinge points are probably concealed under plastic covers.  Pop those off first.

More than likely it somehow came off the hinge.  However, when we put our doors back on we now need to have them aligned so they close properly.
So as I said, good luck.

Okay, I actually have some experience in this, owning rental property.

First thing you do is tighten any loose screws (on both the door as well as the main body).

Make sure of course that the unit is level (sometimes this causes undue wear on the hinges, thereby causing eventual failure of said hinges).

Carefully clean any detritus from the hinge and coupler area (q-tips and rubbing alcohol is fine for this).

Lightly spray WD-40 on all moving parts.

Call appliance repairman.

Open beer.

Wait for appliance repairman.

Drink beer.

This is very effective from my personal experience with such things.
