Hello folks
side by side fridge / freezer with water/ icemaker
i need some info on how to adjust the freezer door, the bottom right hand corner is not sealing causing frost in the freezer. the unit is level & vertical. Aquired from mother inlaw delivered by removal company. Also is it normal on this style of freezer for the temp to vary on it's own or is this due to the door problem?
thanks
tip it back and get screwdriver on it,otherwise a hammer- tonto is ur man for a more technical answer
guess i'll have to wait for Tonto then
found a spares site

was the doors removed when the fridge was moved and installed? have you checked the door seals to make sure no gaps and sealing correctly, as there is no real adjustment on these doors, just three bolts at top to hold in place.. if not cooling as it should then 1st thing put it into error code mode and see if it shows any faults
I don’t know your model, normally household freezers have non-adjustable hinges.
What you should do is change the door gasket.
You may temporarily fix it inflating the seal injecting silicone beneath, but it won’t last.
You can check the seal pushing a thin sheet of paper. If it goes in between, the gasket is not closing the gap.
The gap in the door could affect the temperature for short periods. On long periods it could be the thermostat.
A malfunctioning thermostat can also produce frost inside.
there no thermostats on these only senors and you cant just change door seal you have to replace whole door
its the freezer side so a bit of frost is a good sign!:D

Is the floor level? If not it can twist the cabinet and the door won't seal as its not twisted too... Usually theres some screwy iny outy feet, might have been fine till it was filled up with food as the increased weight has an effect.
this sounds like the best option, will have to whip out me socket setQuote:

door is solid when open, & there's ver little movement with the top bracket loose .Quote:

did they take the doors off and the brackets- if so did they cross the fridge door brackets with the freezer brackets ?- it would be easier to check it if you unplug it . could take the milk /bottles out- pull the fridge forward about 18inch and tilt it back so it rests against the wall and put something underneath to stop it crushing ur fingers
Not in nofrost ... at least not permanently.Quote:

i was at work when they dropped it of so don't know other than "they took the doors off". the fridge door has a height adjuster screw at the bottom , freezer door is just bolted onto the housingQuote:

have you reported the problem to the removal men that since delivering it, theyve f****d it and put the ball in their court so to speak?-ive searched and cannot find anything
Hmm hadn't thought of that one, mother in laws stuff was put into storage & paid 'em 40 quid cash to bring it here.Quote:
