Top freezer door does not close tight

GE Profile - Top Freezer
The freezer door does not close tight. If I pull up on the handle and push, then it fits correctly, but it does not stay. Slight gap in the stripping since door not closed tight.
It seems I need to adjust the door a "little higher" on the handle side but I cannot figure out how to do that.
The freezer door does swing and close but not a snug fit with the door stripping.

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.

Our side by side freezer door opens slightly

That is a common occurrance for side by side refrigerators. Closing the fresh food door is like having your car windows closed and closing the door. You can feel the air pressure on your ears. In the refrigerator, the air passes through the duct and into the freezer pushing the door open. The magnet on the door gasket should keep it closed. But it may be the freezer door needs the hinges adjusted to the door seats better when closed. Take the plastic cover off the top hinge and you can loosen the screws (don't take them out) and adjust the door slightly (so it looks even between both doors) and tighten the screws up. The top of the door should be level with the top of the unit, and the gap between the doors even the whole way down.

Fridge door not closing 100% at the top.

Loosen the screws holding the top door hinge. Pull up on the freezer door and hold it while you re-tighten the hinge screws.

Pushing freezer door for ice

Sounds like the door switch isn't being pushed in far enough by the door. You could possibly take it off and take it apart and bend the contacts to make it work sooner. Or get a new one.

Ge armoire style condensation on freezer door

the condensation is due to a small amount of cold freezer air getting past the gasket. Warm the entire gasket up for a few minutes with a hair dryer and then close the door and keep it closed for 30 minutes. That will reshape your gasket and solve your problem.

GE Profile PSW26P Freezer door adjustment

You may have enough "play" in the adjustment to pull the door in tighter but sometimes you have to file longer slots in the screw holes. The top hinge cover comes off and there should be 3 screws there, loosen them and see if you can push the door tighter and while holding it there tighten them up. Also make sure you nylon bearings on the pivot points (usually the lower one) are all there and working OK. It is not too unusual to have them break and not notice the little plastic pieces fall out then the door sags and doesn't seal good.
