Possible Causes

Deformed or torn door gasket, Door hinges loose or bent, Cabinet warped due to improper leveling, Magnetic strip in gasket weakened

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges to avoid accidental fan or light operation.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect gasket: Look for tears, hardened sections, or areas not contacting the cabinet. Clean the gasket with warm soapy water and dry.
  • 2. Warm and reshape: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm deformed areas and pull them into shape. Allow to cool while holding in position.
  • 3. Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door so it is square with the cabinet and closes evenly.
  • 4. Replace gasket: If damage is severe, remove the old gasket (usually pressed into a channel) and fit a new "Amica Freezer Door Gasket" for your model.

Tip: After replacement, close the door and check for uniform contact all around using the paper test.
