How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No major electrical hazard, but unplug before adjusting door or gasket if you must remove panels.

Steps:

  • Check door closure: Ensure nothing inside is protruding and preventing the door from sealing.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections of the Midea door gasket. Close a sheet of paper in the door at various points; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak.
  • Clean gasket: Wipe the gasket and mating surfaces with warm soapy water to remove dirt and improve sealing.
  • Adjust door: Level the freezer using the front leveling legs so the door closes firmly. On some models, hinge adjustments can improve alignment.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or permanently deformed, replace it with a Midea-specific gasket.
