Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Worn or bent door hinges, Magnetic gasket weakened, Shelves or baskets pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges to avoid contact with live parts near the top or sides.
- Level the unit: Adjust front leveling feet so the freezer leans slightly back. This helps the door swing closed and stay shut.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure interior shelves and baskets are fully seated and not pushing against the door liner.
- Inspect hinges: Examine the top and bottom hinges for wear or bending. Tighten any loose hinge screws.
- Test gasket magnet: Close the door on a thin piece of metal or paper. If the magnet does not hold firmly, consider replacing the door gasket.
- Hinge replacement: If the door sags or rubs, replace worn Galanz door hinges to restore proper alignment.
