Friends have a large built-in made in 1992. I think the brand is
sub-zero. No freezer in this large box.
Door does not close tightly unless pushed tight.
Machine appears to be tipped back a little (as it should be)
Ideas (other than buy a new one)?
TIA

The seals at the hinge side of the door may be folding over and
resisting closure. Manually distort/overcorrect the seals upon
next closure. Let the fridge/seals set and then see if it operates
better. If so buy new seals or try to correct the old ones with a
little persuasion of the heat from a hair dryer. Also clean the seal
contact surfaces so that they are more slick.
Thank You!!
