"prevention of halfway open doors or doors left ajar"/ "prevent improper sealing"
Explanation:
Half open doors, doors that don't close all the way, etc. are just a few ways that lead to improper refrigerator operation. So your inquiry translates literally to "prevention of halfway open doors or door ajar" but a more streamlined translation would be "improper sealing".

Prevention of sagging doors and half doors


Explanation:
Refrigerator doors sag on their hinges over time, causing improper sealing and poor cooling. The problem is prevented by properly leveling the refrigerator and maintaining hinge bushings.
