IIRC there is not much of an adjustment on the doors. Check the pivots & see if they are worn.

It sounds like you have a problem with the compressor. There is no pressure control on a unit of that size so a low freon condition is not a factor. The compressor may have overheated due to a bad condenser fan (near the compressor) or a dirty condenser. Check those, unplug the unit & let the compressor cool for a few hours. If you're lucky, after a few hours, the compressor will start up & run. If not the compressor "might" be locked up. You will need to get a service company to confirm this. To give you an idea, if my company were to replace the compressor it would be in the $600 to $800 range.
EDIT: If the unit is 5yrs or less, the compressor should be covered under Bev Air warranty.
