Fridge side door - when opening/closing it is catching against freezer door edge. Hinges and their bushing are fine/not loose or worn. I grinded hinge holes for screws wider so I can get more adjustment with no result. I measured width at corners on top and bottom and it is 19". Sliding down with tape and measured 1/4" more on the inside edge of the door slab. Running up and down with machinist angle shows the bent as well. When you lay the door down with Styrofoam insulation up, it is like a shallow box filled with insulation and the upper edge is wider/bent than the bottom edge. No sign of moisture build up, it looks like it was made like that and the Styrofoam when it was filled in, just pushed sides wider and hardened in that shape causing these door edges, freezer to fridge catching against each other. Did anyone had such issue with door on a fridge? When they fill the door sheetmetal with foam, it should have been boxed so it can't push these week sides wider. I measured only the fridge side, not freezer. I tried to clamp/hammer down the widening through wooden block with hard time to not much result. It dents the edge of the door so short of gouging the foam out along the edge, bending the sheetmetal and refiling with foam, I can't see it other way to shrink it to factory size. I can't see a store selling this fridge when new with such issue or if not, how the foam can swell latter to widen the inner edge? If that would be a freezer side, it could be related to moisture build up and frost but it would damage the Styrofoam but fridge side makes no sense. Thanks for comments
