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.
