Possible Causes

Misaligned or bent door hinges, Overloaded door shelves, Warped door gasket, Cabinet not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Take care when adjusting hinges; doors can be heavy.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust the front feet so the freezer leans slightly back. This helps the door close by gravity.
  • Inspect hinges: Check upper and lower hinges for bending or loose screws. Tighten all hinge screws.
  • Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from the door shelves that may be pulling the door out of alignment.
  • Check gasket contact: Close the door on a strip of paper at various points. If it pulls out easily, adjust the door position or replace the door gasket.
