Thick frost or ice buildup on the door frame and around the gasket area.

Safety: No internal electrical work is needed; keep hands dry when working around the door.

• Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the gasket. Close the door on a strip of paper at several points; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak.
• Remove obstructions: Ensure food packages or baskets are not preventing the door from closing fully.
• Warm and reshape gasket: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm warped areas of the gasket, then press them against the cabinet to help them conform. Do not overheat.
• Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the door naturally swings closed and aligns with the frame.
• Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is damaged or will not seal, install a new Galanz freezer door gasket. Soak it in warm water before installation to improve flexibility.
