Possible Causes

Freezer not level, Door hinges loose or bent, Drawer rails misaligned (on drawer-style freezers), Gasket interference with shelves or bins

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.
