Why did the fridge door start rubbing after new flooring was fitted?

A changed floor level can alter clearance around the appliance or fitted furniture. The timing is useful even when the refrigeration function itself appears unaffected.

What the observation tells you

An appliance may now sit differently, or a plinth may contact the door. Moving a heavy fridge to investigate can trap its cable or damage the new floor. Do not compensate by bending trim or loosening hinges without identifying the actual contact.

A useful next step

Observe the visible rubbing point during gentle use and tell the booking team about the floor work. Include whether the fridge is freestanding or integrated so access can be planned appropriately.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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