Possible Causes
Worn or compressed door gasket, Door latch misaligned, Loose cabinet screws or seams, Warped door from heat exposure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the smoker to cool before adjusting the door or gasket.
- Inspect gasket: Check the silicone door gasket for flat spots, tears, or missing sections. Replace if it no longer makes uniform contact with the door.
- Adjust latch: Tighten or adjust the door latch so the door pulls firmly against the gasket without excessive force.
- Tighten cabinet screws: Inspect the cabinet seams and tighten any loose screws to reduce gaps.
- Check door alignment: If the door is visibly warped, gently adjust the hinges or replace the door assembly if it cannot be aligned.
