Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Worn hinge cam or closer, Overloaded door shelves, Warped door gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges to avoid contact with moving fans.

  • Step 1 – Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets and food items are not preventing the door from closing fully.
  • Step 2 – Inspect hinges: Look for sagging or loose hinge screws. Tighten as needed and adjust the door so it is square with the cabinet.
  • Step 3 – Hinge cam/closer: On some upright models, a plastic cam helps pull the door closed. Replace if worn or broken.
  • Step 4 – Gasket condition: Replace the door gasket if it is warped and preventing proper closure.
