he magnets keep the door shut and help to form an air tight seal between the door and the refrigerator.
Also many many years ago refrigerators did not close with magnets and typically closed using a latch. This caused a major problem, there were incidents in which someone would be throwing away a refrigerator and it would be sitting out at the end of there driveway for example. Neighborhood kids would be playing hide and seek and the old refrigerator looked like an appealing place to hide, what kids did not know was that the refrigerator when shut is air tight and that when latched it cant be open from the inside. There were incidents where kids suffocated hiding in old refrigerators. So there was a movement to make refrigerator doors sealable but without the use of a latch, and that is the other reason refrigerators use magnets to hold them shut.
