Default Upright freezer door won't stay closed

I have an old Kelvinator upright freezer sitting in the garage. Lately the
door won't stay closed. There's got to be a better solution than duct
tape. Thanks for any advice/suggestions. Mike


Figure out why it is not closing and fix that.

If it is not overloaded or a drawer or shelf sticking out them maybe the
door seal is damaged. Sometimes the door seal peals up at one corner of the
door (often bottom near the hinge) and folds over forming an obstruction
thet prevents the door from closing but is soft enough to be forced shut
anyway. If it is badly damaged, you can get a replacement at an appliance
parts shop (see yellow pages)
