How deep is the scratch? For each level of scratch there are different techniques to remove it. Here goes, starts by cleaning and then addressing the scratch::
First clean your refrig door well and locate the grain of the stainless steel and always work in the direction of the grain.
Use a gentle polishing cleanser (Bar Keepers Friend) to clean the entire door, not just the scratched area, to do this wet the door and sprinkle the cleanser on to make a loose paste. Rinse the door with water and dry it with a microfiber cloth.
Clean the entire door with vinegar, this removes any grease and fingerprints, Rinse with water and dry with a microfiber cloth.
If you have a minor scratch, try buffing it out with a non-abrasive cleaner, they come in powder and paste forms, this is good for hairline scratches, use a damp cloth or a sponge. Every now and again, wipe off the cleaner with a wet rag and inspect.
If the scratch is still there, use a non-gel toothpaste and a soft bristled brush, wipe away and inspect. Wipe away with a wet rag, if the scratch is gone, clean with a metal polish or olive oil.
Deep scratch, use sandpaper (contact the manufacturer for the correct grit-generally speaking use a fine grit). wet the area to be sanded, wet the sand paper as well, sand in the direction of the grain-be sure to keep everything wet all the time. Feather it out to blend the area with the rest of the door. If the scratch is gone, wipe with a wet rag then pat dry with a microfiber cloth.
