Possible Causes

Worn or compressed door gasket, Misaligned door or hinges, Latch not pulling door tight, Debris or grease on sealing surfaces

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use heat‑resistant gloves if adjusting while warm; ideally, adjust when cool.

  • Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe grease and debris from the door and cabinet mating surfaces.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for flat spots, tears, or missing sections. Replace the door gasket if damaged.
  • Adjust latch: Bend or adjust the latch catch so the door is pulled snugly against the gasket when closed.
  • Check hinge alignment: Tighten loose hinge screws and adjust the door so gaps are even all around.
