# How to Solve a Hinge Problem on a Refrigerator Door
Your refrigerator is made up of many high-tech internal components. However, one of the most important parts of the unit is the door. A functional refrigerator door seals the unit and prevents cool air from escaping. If your fridge door is off-center, it is perhaps the result of a loose hinge. You can tighten a loose hinge in a matter of minutes.
