Default UPRIGHT FREEZER DOOR STILL DOES NOT SEAL

I have a garage freezer for 5 years with no problems. One Day door would not
close properly. I replaced the door seal thinking that would fix the
problem. I adjusted and adjusted the top hinge over and over pushing it up
down in and out . I will always have a 1/4 gap somewhere on the handle side
of this freezer. it is almost like the door is warped. The freezer is level
side to side and front to back. there is no ice build up or items that
prevent door from closing. I leave the gap on the bottom and can easily
close it completely with little foot pressure. I am ready to get a new
freezer any suggestions would be helpful.

If someone hangs on to the door to support their weight while they bend down to look for something in the freezer or refrigerator, it will pull the hinges out of place. The screws holding the hinges to the cabinet will have to be loosened, realigned then the screws tightened back up. This is dependent on the brand and model you have. You didn't mention either in your post but you can find instructions on YouTube for realigning doors on different brands. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
