My door fails the flashlight test. Not sealing at bottom.Any known updates or adjustment procedures???

Mine has the same problem. It seems to sag in the middle.
In this photo, you can sort of see the sag. Well OK maybe you can't.

Here is where I have pulled down the gasket slightly. I was thinking of puting rubber cement behind the gasket to help "keep it up". It was also very nasty & moldy behind there due to condensation & what not. The unit was used when I got it & it came that way. I cleaned it out with spray cleaner.

I figured that before glueing it I would try a piece of weatherstripping. I used some of this.

And did this.

I have not given it the flashlight test because I put the unit back in service right after this mod. I think it is holding the cold in a lot better then before because my on/off cycle times have extended.

The weatherstrip is a Frost King R538. You can get it at OSH, Home depot etc. It comes in other sizes. Just make sure you use a closed cell foam. It comes in 10' lenghths. You only need 24". If you want to try this mod send me your address & I will mail you 2 feet.

I might have a door seal issue as well, not sure yet. But I'm assuming I would put the insulation where the door seal meets the main fridge area? Looks like that from your picture.

I applied the weatherstrip directly underneath & snug against the door seal while the door was closed. Make sure the surface is dry & has no condensation when you do it.

Or just get some of those latches you find on plastic tool boxes and bolt them onto the side of your door
