I purchased a Whirlpool refrigerator 3 years ago. The door on our refrigerator has developed some sort of problem to where it will not close easily or stay closed. If we open the freezer door and shut it the refrigerator door comes open. I came home from work yesterday evening to discover that the door had sat open for 10 hours and had to throw all of the food away inside. What are some reasons that the gasket on the door can become decompressed or be worn out? My husband recently cleaned the refrigerator and I swear it has never closed well since he cleaned it. We have a repairman coming to look at it but it will not be covered if the owner intentionally or unintentionally damaged it. Would using a cleaning agent on the gasket do this? Also my ice maker only produces hollow ice cubes. What could be the reason for this?

you can adjust the amount of water that goes into the ice maker. pop the plastic cover off the front and turn the screw that has the + and - symbols. turn it to the + for more water. i would not turn it more than one full turn. then wait til it dumps the ice before turning it again. you dont want to much water.
it sounds like the hindges on the fridge door ar out of allignment and the door is not matching up right.

no the gasket should be fine, but i would check the magnetic draw of the gasket, sounds like a door misalignment, or there is not a place for the air to escape when you close the door, some times there so air tight its hard for the door to stay closed,
Mine is just opposite, its hard to open, so i drilled a 1/8 th inch hole thru the cabnit,
