Why does opening one integrated door seem to move the other panel?

Panels or fittings may be contacting, but the actual movement needs assessment. Record whether the inner appliance door also moves or only the outer furniture panel shifts.

What the observation tells you

That distinction helps avoid calling every coupled movement a refrigerator-seal fault. A narrow clearance can be hidden when both panels are closed. Repeatedly forcing them past each other risks breaking rails or pulling fixings loose.

A useful next step

Observe gentle normal movement and provide safe photographs if requested. Do not remove screws at random. The correct installation arrangement and existing damage should be checked together.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
