Door closer on refrigerator side was worn out
This was a very simpler repair to an annoying problem. First I removed the decorative cover on the top hinge pin of the door which was held on with one screw. I then removed the 3 screws of the top hinge pin with a socket, held the door in place with my hand and took off the top pin. Next, I simply lifted the refrigerator door off the bottom worn out hinge.
removed the old door hinge bracket and bottom lower hinge pin that had worn, placed the new bottom hinge pin in the bracket. Finally, on the bottom of the refrigerator I replaced the natural door closer held on by one screw. Lifted the door back onto the new bottom hinge pin, held the door in place and installed the top hinge pin, put the cover back on and the refrigerator is closing like it was new again.

Door would not stay shut and had to be pushed closed
Supported door in the closed position to keep door from falling with wood 2X4s. After that it was easy to replace lower hinge.

5. install lower hinge bracket with 3 mounting screws

Note: The plastic piece on the bottom of the door that mates with the hinge pin and provides a cam action should have been replaced at the same time.
