If concave is severe you will have to replace door. You can try to alleviate a slight gap by using a hairdryer and blowing hot air on the gasket in the area of the gap....move the dryer in up and down motions and the gasket will expand! Just make sure that there is no ice pressing against the door inner first! Oshie

Thick brown liquid at leg of of refrigerator

the thick brown liquid is decomposing moss, from the condensate inside the unit finding a way out.(think of it as the same stuff you get around a shower tray)clean out the fridge using clorine bleach and dry thoroughly....leave the door open for the clorine to gas off otherwise it will taint the food.when the smell has gone then close door and switch on.(some people use milton fluid,but clorine kills all known germs....)

Our N369B fridge freezer has a large amount of ice clinging to the upper back of the fridge how do we stop this happening?

Your freezer door is not closing properly. if it is not on wheels then make sure the bottom nut that also holds the front wheels or slider in place is tight. Also maybe have the seals replaced and check door alignment on both doors. You will of course have to defrost the freezer.

42'' monogram getting very hot between doors and in unit above

This is typical for frost-free refridgerators/freezers. In order to keep ice from buiding up on the interior walls of the freezer section, the manufacturer installs electric defrosting elements and extra "warming" elements in the outer edges of the cabinet, normally around the door openings to help mitigate any frost/ice build up and surface condensation that typically occurs on the exterior surfaces as the doors are opened and closed frequently.

These edge warmers stay very warm to keep ice and condensation from accumulating and will become VERY very warm (hot) when the fridge/freezer is in the once a day defrost cycle.

Unless you have an energy saver switch (GE trademark) inside the fridge section, which you can turn off, there is no way to disable these added elements. If you find that you're getting ice building up in the freezer, you'll need to turn off the energy saver switch to resolve that issue.

Energy Saver switch "ON" means these elements are off, while having the ES switch "OFF" means those heaters are running all the time and costing you more in energy consumption

Frost in Freezer, front of shelves

Sometimes enough ice will accumulate at the front of the shelves to actually block the door from closing completely. Are you in and out of the freezer often? Moist air that hits the frozen shelf surface will accumulate at the front of the shelves first because that's where it hits first. Check that the freezer is level and plumb not on a "twist". If it is sometimes the door will not seat properly and therefore leave a gap for air to get in. Take a dollar bill and place it in the door seal surface. Close the door and try to slide the bill out from between the door frame and the seal. Do this in several places around the door. If it comes out with little or no friction you may have found your problem. Finally, completely defrost the freezer shelves after removing all the food. Don't poke or dig with an ice pick or screwdriver or you will poke a hole in the tubes and ruin the freezer. You can speed things up with some hot water in a pan placed inside the freezer. Be ready with towels or pans to collect water. Good luck!

Fridge ice accumulation inside and water dripping outside

Hi, Are you getting ice build up in the freezer side as well? There is a air shuttle between the fresh food side and the freezer side. thwater might be getting in the freshfood side from there. Look at the bottom rear panel in the freezer for ice build up. Ig=f there is ice, you will need to get to the drain from inside the freezer and check for blockage.
Please let me know if I can help you further.
