Possible Causes
Unit not level, Warped door, Damaged hinges, Magnetic gasket weakened or deformed
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Be careful when adjusting the appliance to avoid tipping.
- Level the freezer: Adjust the front feet so the unit leans slightly backward. This helps the door close and stay shut.
- Inspect hinges: Check for loose screws or bent hinge brackets. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Check gasket magnetism: Ensure the gasket still has magnetic pull. If it no longer seals firmly, replace it.
- Remove obstructions: Make sure shelves and food items are not pushing against the door from inside.
