Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Door hinges loose or bent, Magnetic gasket weak or deformed, Items inside pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Prevent the door from slamming while adjusting hinges.
Steps:
- Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the freezer leans slightly back, helping the door close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws and check for bent hinge arms. Replace damaged hinges.
- Check for obstructions: Rearrange contents so nothing protrudes beyond the front of shelves or baskets.
- Gasket condition: If the gasket is stiff or warped, warm it gently with a hair dryer and reshape. Replace the door gasket if it cannot be restored.
