SUB ZERO 550, FF DOOR SWINGS OPEN TOO FAR
MY FRIEND HAS A SUB ZERO 550, THIS IS A BOTTOM FREEZER, SINGLE DOOR ON TOP, LH HINGES. THE FRIG DOOR SWINGS OPEN. THE WHITE DOOR CAMS WERE BROKEN TOO, I TOOK THE DOOR OFF AND REPLACED THEM BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I CALLED SUB ZERO PARTS LINE AND ORDERED A DS90 DOOR STOP KIT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THIS KIT IS FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF HINGE, ONE THAT HAS STIFFENER PLATE AND OTHER PARTS. MY FRIEND'S FRIG BOTTOM HINGE HAS ONLY ONE PIECE OF METAL ATTACHED TO THE CABINET, WITH DOOR CAM ON IT, AND ONE METAL PIECE ATTACHED TO THE DOOR WITH DOOR CAM ON IT. THE TWO CAMS HAVE GROOVES IN THEM THAT ASSIST IN CLOSING THE DOOR, BUT THEY DON'T STOP IT FROM SWINGING. MY FRIEND SAYS THE DOOR DIDN'T USE TO SWING OPEN ALL THE WAY, BUT HE NEVER FOUND ANY BROKEN PIECES ON THE FLOOR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO MAKE THIS DOOR STOP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU.

Best way to take care of that problem is tilt ,,,, the frig needs to have a little tilt to the back so when door is open and you turn it loose it will close by it self ,,,,, if you open the door and it swings open it is tilted to much to the front so raise front legs with door slitey open till door close on its own / larry
