Got a mini fridge off of Craigslist. This morning I took the door seal and shelves off to discover that my cornies or fermenter wont fit. Oh well, back to square one

. After re-installing the shelves and door seal, I discovered the door will no longer seal. Any ideas? It's a GE mini fridge and it's just the upper, outer door corner. I guess I'm back to step -1.....

It took me a few tries of loosening and re-tightening some screws, but I eventually got the door straight.

Some times you can gently twist the door to straighten it out. If not take the door off. Lay it flat and loose the screws then re tighten as suggested above.
