Possible Causes
Bent door hinges, Worn or broken latch catch, Loose hinge screws, Deformed door gasket interfering with closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges or latches.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and check both hinges for bending or looseness. Tighten any loose hinge screws.
- Check latch: Inspect the latch catch on the cabinet and the mating hook on the door. Replace any cracked or worn parts.
- Gasket inspection: Examine the door gasket for swelling, warping, or mis-seating. Reseat the gasket into its channel or replace if damaged.
- Adjust alignment: Slightly loosen hinge mounting screws, adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the opening, then retighten.
- Test closure: Close the door slowly to ensure it latches securely without excessive force.
