Possible Causes

Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned hinges, Overloaded door shelves, Cabinet out of level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges to avoid pinched fingers near moving metal parts.

  • Level the cabinet: Use a level and adjust the front feet so the freezer leans slightly back. This helps the door close by gravity.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or sections not contacting the cabinet. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it by hand to improve contact.
  • Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from the door shelves that may be pulling the door out of alignment.
  • Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position so the gasket contacts evenly all around, then retighten.
  • Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is damaged or hardened, replace it with a Hisense-compatible door gasket.

A properly sealing door is critical for efficient operation and frost control.
