Last night we noticed the Ice-cream from the freezer was soft. In
further inspection we
found the bread, OJ and few other things in the freezer also soft. The
ice in the ice maker
was also sticking together. The Freezer door is getting pushed open when
the refrigerator
side gets closed. So we push the freezer door closed but it doesn't seem
take much effort to
open when we go to open it again. I think the freezer itself is running
fine. It is cold in there.
We have it set to the highest setting (9)(turned it up last night from
7) and pushed the door
closed last night before going to bed to see it the ice-cream, bread and
oj would freeze back
up. They were still soft this morning Will a bad gasket cause the
thawing of these items? Even
after pushing the door closed? What are some things we could do to
'test' it to make sure it
is a gasket problem?
If the gasket is bad would we feel cool air coming out from around the
door? Cause we don't.
The refrigerator is only 5 years old. We are hoping it is just a gasket
and not failing freezer.

We have an old GE side-by-side. If we open the doors at the same time,
they will hit each other. They are also not straight and level...one a
tad higher in center than other. The hinge thingy on top is adjustable,
so perhaps that is what needs to be done. I believe we had the doors
off to move ours in, but can't recall. Allegedly, a test of the seal is
to close the door on a piece of paper and see if it is snug or slides
out. Having a lot of stuff in the refrig. door also affects how ours
closes. Time for a new one )
