Door Lock Assembly

Door lock assembly (if equipped) is attached to outer
door panel and consists of the cam and bolt (lock bolt).
Illustration below indicates movement of the lock bolt as
the key is turned clockwise to locked position. An ejector
spring in the lock forces the key out. Key will not remain
in the lock once it is released, regardless of position the
lock is in.
Locked
Lock design is simple and no major operating difficulties
should be encountered. If the lock is not locking in a
positive enough manner, position the door to verify it is
high enough for the bolt to catch firmly. Side way
movement to the door may also improve lock operation.
Sometimes leveling the freezer will eliminate need for
cabinet door adjustments. Verify freezer is level from
side to side, and from front to back, with a carpenters
level. Adjust leveling glide until freezer is in a true vertical
position.
