Jenn-Air JFFCC72EFS French Door 22.1 cu ft French Door Refrigerator with Turbo Cool and LED Lighting MECH-10 Error Fix: Door Hinge Wear or Alignment Issue

Error code MECH-10 on the Jenn-Air JFFCC72EFS French Door 22.1 cu ft French Door Refrigerator with Turbo Cool and LED Lighting means: Door Hinge Wear or Alignment Issue. The refrigerator or freezer door does not close properly, hangs crooked, or does not align flush with the cabinet — on Jenn-Air built-in refrigerators, the doors must be precisely aligned with custom cabinetry panels; check the top and bottom door hinges for wear; adjust hinge screws to realign the door; check that the door closing cam (spring-loaded mechanism at the bottom hinge) is functioning — this cam provides the self-closing force for the last few inches of door travel; on panel-ready models, the added weight of custom wood or matching panels accelerates hinge wear and may require hinge reinforcement or more frequent adjustment
