Possible Causes

Cabinet not level, Warped door, Damaged or deformed gasket, Items inside pushing against door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Be careful when adjusting the appliance to avoid tipping.

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets and food packages are not protruding and preventing full closure.
  • Level the freezer: Adjust front feet so the unit leans slightly back, helping the door to self-close.
  • Inspect hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws. If the door is sagging, hinge components may need replacement.
  • Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is torn or permanently deformed, install a new De Dietrich door gasket.
