    Have a Zanussi Fridge Freezer thats causing me grief. The kids of the previous owner presumably were swinging off of the lower (freezer) door - which means that it doesnt line up properly - resulting in it needing to be defrosted more and more regularly.

    Have to either do something about it or replace. Anyone had similar problem - and how did you fix?

    only thing i can suggest is either buy new hinges , buy a new door seal or most dramtic of all buy a new door for the fridge

    Don't think its the door or seal itself thats the problem but....Can't buy seal alone - the way its manufactured, have to replace whole door (they do this on purpose to make cash on spares). A new door costs nearly as much as a new appliance.
    Not sure about the hinges - with regard to replacement. Will take door off next week and see if I can do anything with it. Someone did suggest that if I put a washer in under hinge bolt, it would help - but I can't see how. Can only move door up a bit - but will still be tapering off as before. Perhaps I can twist back the hinge so that its not bent.

    I took door off and found problem at base of freezer door.. Put a couple of washers on it and put it back - still crooked but may not be as bad. Was only when I had it back on that I realised I can probably hinge from other side as all the slots are there. If current fix hasn't worked, will probably try hinging from other side..
