Fridge door won't close
 
Fridge door won't close properly. It closes but then pops open an
inch. If you give it a hard nudge sometimes it stays closed, but even
then the top corner has a gap. Any ideas? I can't replace the fridge,
it belongs to my landlord.

Mine did that, the magnetic rubber seal on the hinge edge of the door was
gripping instead of sliding as the door closed the last inch. What I did was
give it a squirt of GT85 - its like WD40/Plusgas but with added PTFE (Don't
get any on the tops of your cans of beer - it tastes disgusting!).

It means you have too much food in your refrigerator dickhead.

I have sent an abuse complaint to for several
reasons:

[1] This is sci.electronics.repair, and a refrigerator is not an
electronic device, it is an appliance. Your question should have been
asked in alt.home.repair.

[2] You can replace the fridge, just buy another one. Repairing it is
not your responsibility, it is your landlords. So why are you even
asking such a question when you should be reporting the problem to
your landlord in the firstplace?????

Interesting... I'll remember that trick if it ever happens to me.

[1] I am a dickhead and I do things like this, and

I'd let the Landlord deal with it. You pay him rent - it's part of "his"
property - SOooooooooo.
