SOURCE: bottom freezer door moves top to bottom by moving handle in & out

Hi, most models have adjustment screws near the track connected to the door if this is a slide out door. If this is a swing out door, you might be able to twist the door back in shape.
If the gap is only in the corner of the door, try inserting a piece of paper towl rolled/folded up behind the gasket to help stretch it.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

SOURCE: Bottom freezer door on our LG is out of

The easiest way to fix that is to pull the freezer door all the way out and give it a good little tug, you will see the plastic covers on the side rails there will be a little gap about one inch on each side make sure those gaps are even. Your door should be aligned

SOURCE: Door does not close tightly. If I lift door it

If the hinges aren't too worn, you can sometimes loosen the screws (just loose, don't remove) that hold the hinges to the case of the frig, have someone lift the door by the handle.
Have them lift it firmly while you retighten the screws for the door. Your door may fit better and it's a quick fix.
If the hinge is getting worn, you can purchase replacement parts. Check at repairclinic.com ...they have a huge selection and the parts can be matched to their photos... great help when making sure they're correct.
Best of success on this.

SOURCE: top freezer door does not close tight

Sounds like the top hinge is loose. If the hinge has a cover, remove it then hold the door in the correct position and tighen the hinge screws.

Door adjust for 71 Chev C20

  • Open the door and locate the two hinges where the door pivots from the vehicle.
  • 2Look for any wear or bending on either hinge. The hinge that looks bent or otherwise damaged will be the one you want to adjust.
  • 3
    Loosen the bolts with the socket wrench on the affected hinge just enough to where it could be moved with the pry bar.
  • 4Move the hinge forward or backward in small increments, then gently try to close the door to see if it is back in alignment. If it isn't, continue to move it either frontward or backward until the door closes securely and without slamming.

    How to adjust the passenger door on 95 nissan pathfinder

    There are hing bolts to adjust the gap in the door on the top and bottom, loosen them and move the door into position and then close and make sure the gap is even all around. If the door is not latching properly then there are two star screws in the door jam you can loosen and move the latch hook out and tighten back down to get the door to latch tighter, however if the plastic is wore off the striker plate it needs to be replaced or it will rattle no matter what you do.

    Ovendoor not closing for tight seal...

    You should feel the door pull closed when you as you lift it and get near the closed position.

    There is some spring linkage associated with the hinge pins at the bottom sides of the oven.

    I cannot find the oven you indicated, but I did find exploded views and parts list of the topic post oven on the SearsPartsDirect website.
