Possible Causes
Misaligned door hinges, Worn hinge bushings, Deformed door gasket, Freezer not level causing door to swing open
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges to avoid accidental fan or light operation.
Steps:
- Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling feet so the freezer leans slightly back, helping the door close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Check top and bottom hinges for wear or looseness. Tighten mounting screws.
- Check gasket: Ensure the gasket is not twisted or folded. Warm it gently with a hair dryer and reshape if needed.
- Replace worn parts: If hinges are worn or the gasket is damaged, replace with Bosch-specific hinge kits or door gasket.
