Freezer door will not close fully or pops open after being shut

Safety first: Avoid pinching fingers when adjusting the door. Have a helper if the door is heavy.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bins are properly seated and not hitting the cabinet when closing.
• Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or folded sections of the gasket. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
• Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling legs so the freezer leans slightly back. This helps the door close by gravity.
• Hinge adjustment: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it aligns evenly with the cabinet. Replace worn hinge components if necessary.
