Refrigerator panel

My 2016 Springdale 260TBWE refer panel stainless steel cover, bows when hot.
Any fixes for this? Silicone it to the foam on the door?
Ideas?

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE SCREWS !!!!! The door is a partial vacuum (think thermos bottle) and if you use any screws and pierce the door insulation, you'll really mess things up .....

Most people who have a slipping or bowing door sheet panel use a piece of foam core double sided tape (say about 2" wide by 12" long) vertically in the center of the door and then slide the door panel back into the track.

I'll try that.
Thanks for the tip!

Had a similar problem with my double door refer. Stainless panel bowed out from it track on one side only. Couldn't budge it to move in any direction. Used a putty knife to work the panel back in the track while taping every 6" or so with duct tape so it wouldn't jump out again. Once I got it to stay in the track held in with duct tape I used Permatex glue (for non-porous surfaces) and dabbed a drop onto the panel in several places about 6 - 8 inches apart then I re-taped it and let it set overnight. Problem solved. Frig still works great and no bulging panel - if I ever have to replace the panel I'll probably have to use dynamite to get the trim and panel to separate. Duct tape and glue; where would we be without them?
