Question posted by AL7812003 on October 25th, 2012
Misaligned Fresh Food Door.
After moving the product to another location I noticed that the fresh food door would not close properly by catching on a part located at the inside bottom opposite the hinge (no food obstructed this).
The only way around this is to lift up the door using the handle while closing it. Could a bent/dented part cause this?
