Hello all, I've just moved into a new rented property and loving my new home.
Part of the rental agreement is that the appliances are my responsibility, although they were fitted when I moved in.
The fridge is an integrated model and whoever fitted the hinges to [the right hand side of] the door didn't do a good job, as you look at the unit the door is off square slightly so that it anti-clockwise a fraction. Also, it's just very slightly too low.
Both of these together means that the door does not seal properly on the top left corner when closed because there isn't enough overlap to create the vacuum.
this hinges of of the type in the link:

Given that the door position is relative to the hinge, I'm very surprised that these are not adjustable, ant eh hinge is mounted to the fridge and the door with screws, into drilled holes. Not something that can be fine adjusted.
I've tried loosening all mounting screws and repositioning, but to no success. Can anyone help with some advice? As it is, my fridge is not holding temperature very well.
Thanks
