Left Side Door Will Not 'self' Close. It Needs A Slight Push To Close All The Wa

I submitted the information below earlier and need to clarify the problem. The left side door will swing closedup until it reaches the gasket/seal (freezer is below both doors). The right side door has a 'closer' that I replaced. The left side door does not have a piece like that. The left side door will swing closed if the right hand door is open.1) is there an adjustment to be made on the top hinge with shims or2) is there an adjustment in the refrigerator such as humidity adjustment that might create pressure against closing door or3) is there another solution?==========================Kitchenmaid kbfs25ewms3dLeft hand door does not close on its own. I bought a new closer for the right hand door and one for the left and door. Right had door worked like a charm. Left hand door did not have this part. The part was multi-sided insert.Question: If there is a closer on the right hand door what is required to 'closer' my left hand door? The refrigerator is level side to side.
