Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Items inside pushing against door, Weak or damaged gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting hinges.

  • Check for obstruction: Ensure no baskets or tall items are preventing the door from closing fully.
  • Inspect hinges: Verify that hinge screws are tight and the door is level. Adjust hinge position if necessary.
  • Check gasket: Look for deformed sections that prevent proper sealing. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape by hand.
  • Replace gasket or hinges: If the door remains misaligned or the gasket is damaged, replace the affected parts with Bauknecht-compatible components.
