Hi My Smeg FA311X fridge freezer has developed what seems to be a common problem with the handle on the fridge part (top) coming loose and wobbling when opening the fridge. Additionally the fridge only stays closed when pushed shut at the bottom, pushed closed at the top it pops back open again. Any advice gratefully recieved as I can't see what needs to be done to fix either of these problems. Thanks
Sounds like your door is sprung. take door off and lay flat on a table outside of the door down. loosen screws on door liner . screws are hidden under door seal. when all loose not removed make sure door is flat on table. tighten the screws being careful not to move door. reinstall door and it should be ok. this is usually cause be either someone leaning or hanging on the door when it is open. or putting to heavy of items in the door trays.

We had the same problem and were told that gas was not circulating properly. We had it topped up, but it broke a week later. It had to be scrapped.

What you need to locate is the door switch mechanism for the fridge. These are normally located towards the top of the door and protrude so that when the door closes the switch is pushed in. To find out if you have a problem with the switch just press it when the door is open and the light should go off. The switch itself can appear in various forms either as a protruding rod or a curved plate which pushes upwards against the door side when it closes. If I could draw in this section it could be better explained. But if you look around the inside of the fridge on the side away from the door hinge then you should find something you can push. Sorry to be this vague. If you do need a replacement switch they are normally quite simple to change depending on where they are located, most are two screws, or just a push in type. Hope this has been of some help.

Hi
Thanks for your response. I've had a good look at the door seals and they appear to be factory attached, I.e. not removable or replaceable. Quite possible that I am missing a trick.
