How to Adjust a Frigidare Freezer Door

Frigidaire freezers come equipped with a seal around the inner perimeter of the door that keeps air from entering or escaping when the freezer door is closed. A correctly adjusted freezer door shuts properly and provides an airtight seal that helps keep frozen foods at the proper temperature. Frigidaire freezer doors may require adjusting after being relocated or because of extensive use. You can adjust the door on your Frigidaire freezer with the proper tools and basic do-it-yourself ability.
