rv170 is on a distinguished road
Default AMANA Side-by-Side
Model Number: SBD21V   Brand: Amana   Age: 5 - 10 years   

The freezer door pops up when the refrigerator door is closed.
The freezer door does not 'stick' to the frame when closing it.
Cold air leaks through the (opening side) bottom half of the freezer door and at the bottom by (opening side) the corner.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to resolve this problem.

Thanks

The magnetic door gasket must mate fully with the door frame, if not add or take away door hinge washers.If door gasket and plastic door panel ok and not busted out or split, just use duck tape to pull door closed properly and leave overnight, take off next morning, should now be ok. Helps to have the fridg leaning back a bit.
