Door closing cams on door hinges cracked and sheered off. Door sit low on hinges.
Just watch the Parts Select YouTube videos on replacing the door hinges. That helped a lot.
All I needed was a phillips head screw driver and a 5/16ths socket wrench. Easy after watching the video a few times.

rt hand door wouldn't stay closed by itself-door sagged
This door was a problem for 1-2 years before I realized it had dropped about 2 inches. On close examination I saw that the hinge parts had completely broke down.
Had original manual-looked up model # on line under GE appliance and was surprised to find a large complete parts dwg showing parts I needed. Decided I needed the hinge assy.
Removed the door cap on top,replaced hinge assy and remounted door in reverse.--Works like new.

Refrigerator door would not close. Cam washer was laying on the floor in many pieces.
Removed the refrigerator door. Replaced the cam riser bushing on the bottom of the door. I then removed the hinge bracket on the bottom of the refrigerator after removing the grill (oh yuk, what a mess under the refrigerator). I put the new bracket on and replaced the door. All is working well again. Thanks for the hints and the parts.
