Safety question - Do I need to buy a new fridge?

in Old style MoneySaving
I had to pull my fridge out earlier on as I had spilled some water, and needed to pull the fridge out, to mop up some of the water that had gone under it.
Ever since I have noticed it is wobbly, like the legs are uneven or something.
Every time I open the fridge door the fridge wobbles.
Is this unsafe?
Could it cause a fire due to not being level?
Do I need to buy a new fridge, its only about six years old.

Thank you

    Can you adjust the feet by turning them? Therefore making the fridge stable.

    Your fridge will be fine, but you should find out why it wobbles now.

    It may just be you have put it back in a slightly different place and your floor is a bit uneven. Lots of fridges have legs that screw/unscrew to adjust them for uneven floors, you may just need to read just one of them.
