How to Adjust the Door Closer on a GE Profile

When you are using your General Electric Profile model refrigerator, it is important that the door of the refrigerator closes properly. If your door does not shut all the way, cold air can escape and your food may not stay fresh. To fix the problem, make sure your door is level by adjusting the door hinge's adjusting screws, which are located near the bottom hinge of the door.
