By misaligned do you mean the door hits the inside liner of the
freezer? If so then loosen the three screws that secure the top hinge
and reposition the door so it clears the freezer liner, then retighten the screws. If by misaligned you mean the door is warped so that the door
dosn't fit tightly all the way around then you need to loosen all the screws under the door gasket and then twist the door so it seals evenly all the way around the door. (Hint loosen the screws just enough so
the door will stay aligned after you twist it). Good Luck

My Frigidaire upright freezer has a big gap on the bottom left corner and the top left corner is hitting the freezer body!

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks!!

This has all the hallmarks of a fridge that may be overloaded with weight, on an uneven floor with misaligned levelling feet.

Cut a piece of 1" marine plywood 1" bigger than the width and depth. Empty the freezer and put it on the plywood. Level the feet using a spirit level left to right and a fore and aft. Make sure it doesn't rock. Loosen the door hinges and centre the door. Fill the freezer back up.

Model DDSB483DSS 48-inch side by side. Why does the freezer door pop open when refrigerator door is opened or closed?

The freezer door may be misaligned from top to bottom, resulting in poor contact with the magnetic seal. Another possibility is that the hinges are defective or misaligned, allowing the door to pop open.

How can I adjust an upright freezer door ?

Hello there,
It is always the feet and their adjustment and floor must be level
From the user guide it says

;The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on
a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support
a fully loaded freezer.
NOTE:It is VERY MPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.
To level Upright Models:
After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter's level to level the freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, half a bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open. ;

Frigidaire upright freezer door will not seal

Hi Chris, this is AP! Thank you for your post.

I understand you are having trouble with the door sealing on your upright freezer. Many times this can be caused by the freezer not being leveled. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. To level your upright freezer use a carpenter's level to level the freezer from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2 bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open. I hope this information has been helpful.

Whirlpool, water puddles on top shelf of fridge

If it is not from a plugged or misaligned defrost drain tube, then it is always from air leaking into your refer section. Check you door gasket to see if it is sealing correctly all around your door. Make sure your door is shutting tightly every time. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists.

Freezer door misalignment on ARB8057CSL

Before adjusting hinges you need to take a good look across the door from the side to make sure the door is not warped rather than the hinge misaligned. Cannot give much info on hinges but most do not give much adjustment and most can be accessed it is possible that one of the fixings is loose. The other possibility is that the seal is preventing the door from closing, although it does sound as though it is the top hinge not pulled towards the cabinet properly. Sorry to be vague. Hope this is of some help.
