Since last week, my fridge door has started squeaking while opening and closing. It's a 2 yr old fridge. What should I be looking out for ?

Thanks

Remove the doors and lubricate the hinges. I use lithium grease but any good grease will do. Also clean the door seals and frame with warm soapy water and wipe dry so the gaskets won't stick to the door frame. If it were an older refrig I would be worried about the nylon shims under the doors wearing down but you shouldn't have to, just make sure to put them back where they came from. Doug
