Refrigerator door lock issue

   We purchased a used 2017 R-Pod 177 model.  (It's actually our second R-Pod)  We find the door lock on the refrigerator wont latch tight.  It closes then loosens up and wiggles but does not open.  I'm looking at the lock but can't figure out why it won't latch tight.  It was still in the state of winterization when we got it because they have not gone camping in a year.
Any ideas?

	Where the latch is on the inside of the fridge you have to push into the mechanism and slide the little bar to the rear, it only moves about an inch or so

	The refer latch is flimsy. As mentioned, it may be merely in the 'storage' position. That would be nice. If not, maybe the whole unit has slipped slightly out of position, see if it moves around at all and if so, retighten it. Maybe it is merely broken, there are a couple of places where it can easily be broken in day to day use. Let us know what you find out.
