Freezer door does not close properly or pops open after being shut.

Safety first: Take care when adjusting hinges to avoid pinching fingers.

• 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets or food packages are not protruding and preventing full closure.
• 2. Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer on low and reshape it by hand if necessary.
• 3. Level the cabinet: Adjust the feet so the freezer is slightly tilted back, helping the door to self-close.
• 4. Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and realign the door so it sits squarely in the opening, then retighten.
• 5. Replace gasket or hinges: If the gasket is torn or the hinges are bent, replace them with the correct SMEG parts.
