RCA freezer door is hard to close or pops open after being shut.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges if you must remove the door.

Steps to improve door closure:

• 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure food packages or baskets are not protruding and hitting the door.
• 2. Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the freezer leans slightly back. This helps the door swing closed and stay shut.
• 3. Inspect gasket: Look for sections of the gasket that are twisted or not contacting the frame. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and massage it into shape to improve sealing.
• 4. Adjust hinges: If the door is visibly misaligned, loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door, and retighten while holding it in the correct position.
• 5. Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is hardened or cracked, install an RCA-compatible replacement.

Note: A properly closing door prevents frost buildup and improves efficiency.
