The REF36FDFZXNT is a freestanding French door refrigerator, distinct from the built-in REF36FDFIXNV already covered on this site — this model isn’t designed to integrate behind a cabinet panel, and its leveling and door alignment depend on the floor and feet under it rather than a surrounding cabinet frame. A French door that’s drifted slightly out of alignment on a freestanding unit is often a leveling issue rather than a hinge problem, worth checking with a level before assuming hardware has failed.
