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.
