Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Magnetic gasket weakened, Items inside pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug if you need to remove the door or adjust hinges.
Steps:
- 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets or tall items are not pressing against the door from inside.
- 2. Inspect hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws. Adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the cabinet.
- 3. Test gasket magnetism: Close the door on a thin metal strip; it should hold firmly. If not, replace the door gasket.
- 4. Level the cabinet: Make sure the freezer is slightly tilted back so the door closes by gravity.
