When was the last time you cleaned the refrigerator door seal? Start with that and see how it does. I use a vinegar water solution on a damp cleaning towel.
Check the owners manual how to adjust the hinges. They may only need to be lubricated. No manual...Google the make and model number to get a manual. Check the rubber door seal for cracks or if it's out of shape. May need to be replaced. Clean the rubber seal with soap and water especially in the folds.
Maybe it needs a new seal. Here is a tutorial on how to change it. https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Fixing+a+Refrigerator+Door+Seal/40184
You might try warming the seals with a hairdryer or heat gun (on very low heat) and gently lift the seals outward. You will usually notice condensation near the area where the seal is weak, and that is where you should start. Don't be too aggressive, or you will be replacing the seals as recommended above.
