I examined the others hinges and it appears as if when the door cam get to a certain point it tightens another 25 degrees or so. It appears mechanincal not vacuum actuated.

How are the doors done again? People say by a vacuum but I don't see anything that makes it seem like that. All of the doors should close in a lil more than where they need to be then let out just a small amount to make them correct.

What I think he is saying is that when that particular door closes, it is pulled in closer than any of the other 3 doors, creating a misalignment. In that case, it does sound mechanical, possibly a control unit issue ($$$).
