(Viking fridge brand. search has issues finding after error due to not selecting appliance type)
Replaced gasket and fresh food door doesn’t stay closed. NO THIS MODELS HINGE IS NOT UNDER RECALL. Tried raising the front of the fridge and nothing. Rubbed a bit of lube on gaskets, nothing. Tried udjusting the top hinge bracket in different directions and nothing. Put old gasket back on and seems to be staying closed at least a lot better than new gasket. I was thinking to heat gun the gasket until it compresses better like the old one? But why does the freezer close so well and these Viking side by sides always have issues? What are some other things I can try besides heat gun the new gasket a bit so it isn’t so thick ??

Hello
I have found an updated cam kit for model see link below. Also there is an updated hinge kit for model VCSB482 and you have a VCSB483 . See the links below. We have also found on these models if the drain is plugged it will prevent the vapor seal from working. Make sure the drain is open so air can be released through the drain trap when the door is shut. This is common on the Viking & Sub-Zero models. These doors have issues due to the extreme weight of the doors along with custumers overloading them. Hope this helps . Matt Ace technician
