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.
