Safety first: Unplug the freezer if you need to remove the door or hinges.

Steps:

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets and food packages are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • Inspect hinges: Look for sagging or play in the door. Tighten hinge screws and adjust as needed.
  • Test gasket magnet: Close the door and see if it pulls itself shut in the last few centimeters. If not, replace the gasket.
