Possible Causes

Warped or damaged door gasket, Misaligned hinges, Cabinet not level, Items inside blocking door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the freezer is stable before adjusting hinges or feet.

  • Check for obstructions: Rearrange food so that baskets and packages do not protrude and interfere with the Fagor door closing.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for twists, tears, or gaps in the door gasket. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the door naturally swings closed and seals.
  • Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position if it is sagging. Replace worn hinges if necessary.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged, replace it with an OEM Fagor door gasket, pressing it fully into the groove around the door.
