Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Warped door, Damaged or hardened gasket, Strong internal air pressure after closing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the appliance is stable while adjusting.
Steps:
- Level the freezer front-to-back and side-to-side using the adjustable feet.
- Inspect the gasket for twists or folds; warm it gently with a hairdryer and reshape by hand if deformed.
- Check hinge screws and tighten if the door has dropped.
- After closing the door, wait a few seconds before reopening; a brief resistance is normal due to pressure equalization.
