Possible Causes
Torn or deformed door gasket, Dirty gasket sealing surface, Misaligned door hinges, Cabinet or door warped
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the unit is stable and will not tip when adjusting the door.
Steps:
- Inspect the entire perimeter of the door gasket for tears, gaps, or hardened sections.
- Close the door on a thin strip of paper at various points; if the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak there.
- Clean the gasket and mating surface with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm and reshape deformed gasket areas, pressing them against the cabinet to improve seal.
- If the gasket is cracked or cannot be reshaped, replace it with an Ocean-compatible door gasket.
- Check and adjust door hinges if the door is sagging and not aligning properly.
