[LG refrigerator - door] [Top refrigerator bottom freezer unit] Doors bang shut. I feel that the left and the right doors shut differently. The left door bangs shut.

Troubleshooting

You may feel that the left door shuts more powerfully than the right-side door. It is because it has a device that adds force so as to spread the cold air shield properly.
This is intended to provide easier use of the refrigerator and is not a product defect.
As there is a home bar in the right-side door that stores heavy items, such as bottles of water and beverages and is generally used more frequently than the left-side door, it is equipped with a device to seal openings more tightly.
It is normal that shutting the right and the left doors feels different.
Don’t worry and continue to use your refrigerator.

Causes and Symptoms

Left-side door

When the door is shut, the automatic hinge of the door functions and shuts the door automatically.

Right-side door and lower doors

When the door shuts, the hook (B) under the door engages the rod (B) in the steel plate, which activates a force between them, and after passing a set position, shuts the door securely.
