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.


Make and Model?

Some units can have a plastic cam as part of the hinge mechanism and,
if that cam cracks or otherwise breaks, it can cause issues with
proper sealing.

Once again, if you post the make and model, I can look it up for you.
