Fridge not cooling after repair

[jed0nly]

I unplugged to defrost when I did it. The freezer is working well, albeit already very frosty. I cannot get the freezer door to align worth a flip. But I think that's a separate post/issue. I have a few "issues", haha!

Definite moisture intrusion there!

I have tried to shim and realign that freezer door, but it just sags anyway. I've taken It apart and fiddled with the latch, but I just can't get it straight. When I go in and replace the interior trim, I'll have another go at it.

I had a similar problem...........

But with my bottom door on my '56 Hotpoint combo. I shimmed it and shook it and bent the hinges and it's still not quite there but functional.

Fridge is still rocking at 37*. Just had to turn the dial up to 8. Bought a nice new thermometer for the fridge. Things are looking good on this item. On to my other fridge problems! Thanks guys!

Great news!

 

Maybe you could stick some kind of a wedge with a smooth surface (imagine a tiny door stop) in the lower left front corner of the freezer opening that would lift the door as it snaps shut and keep it from sagging.  Or maybe a hemisphere shaped small plastic glide could be stuck somewhere on that bottom ledge to make the door ride up and level out.
