To adjust a True freezer door, you typically manipulate the tension on the door pin.
While the provided reference only shows a refrigerator door adjustment for a True unit, the principle is likely similar for a freezer. Here's how it generally works, based on the video and common freezer door adjustments:
-
Remove the Door Pin: Use vise grips to carefully remove the door pin.
-
Adjust Tension: Rotate a screwdriver to either increase or decrease the tension. This adjustment changes how the door swings and seals. It's likely located where the pin goes in or near the hinge mechanism. You might need to consult the specific model's service manual for precise location.
-
Reinstall the Pin: After adjusting the tension, carefully reinstall the pin. Make sure it is properly seated.
-
Test the Door: Open and close the door to check the alignment and seal. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed until the door closes correctly and seals properly.
Important Considerations:
- Consult the Manual: The most accurate instructions will always be in your True freezer's service manual. Check there first for specific adjustment procedures.
- Safety First: Disconnect the freezer from power before attempting any repairs if you suspect electrical components are involved.
- Professional Help: If you're uncomfortable making these adjustments, contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
