Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use care when adjusting heavy doors; get assistance if needed.
- Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the freezer is slightly tilted back.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves, bins, and food items are not protruding and blocking the door.
- Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws and check for bent hinge arms. Replace damaged hinges.
- Drawer alignment: On drawer freezers, verify that rails are fully seated and not bent. Realign or replace as needed.
Proper leveling and hinge adjustment usually resolve door closure issues.
