Freezer which is square will not close tight in the front. The hinges are not broken and the back closes fine just at the front a little but is open. Does anyone know what the problem could be. I pluged it up and thought the air would seal it but it has not. Please help.

Check the sealing gasket, does it still have play in it

Check gasket at the back, use a putty knife or something thin to see if it is bottomed out

Sounds like your hinges need adjusting
Someone may have put something heavy on the back
The hinge moved down and now the back is holding the front open

Also check to make sure the freezer is level
