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.
