Freezer


Based on above, the fridge temperature was NOT calibrated. Increased temperature reading by 3°F.

...

From the front to the back, there should be a 1/4 inch difference in levelness (higher in the front)... Adjust by the two adjuster foot pegs (front on floor).

Use a 1/4" socket and a ratchet to turn the adjuster foot pegs screws until the tops of the french doors are even with each other.


In order to get the doors to stay open and not close on their own, you need to ensure the fridge is level front to back and right to left. 


To adjust the doors:

  • Remove the grill

...

  • Ensure Doors at top of fridge are even with each other and door closed properly and door's hinge flap is operating correctly.


Problems

Door Closure

With the fridge level, the door flap can sometimes fail to catch. To address this, I added a spacer between the catch(bearing block) and the cabinet which brings the catch down slightly.

Should probably replace it.


I've ordered a replacement.

While waiting for the new damper motor assembly, I ended up removing the damper and cutting off about 5mm of the foam from the bottom of the door.

Worked fine until the replacement arrived (about 4 days with temp set at 5C)


Replaced part and set temperature down to 3C. Wait and see.....
