Possible Causes
Warped or misaligned door, Worn or deformed door gasket, Freezer not level, Items inside pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: A door that will not stay closed can lead to food spoilage.
Steps:
- Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets or tall items are not pushing against the door from inside.
- Level the unit: Adjust front leveling feet so the freezer tilts slightly back, helping the door close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws and check for bent hinges. Replace hinges if damaged.
- Examine gasket: Replace the door gasket if it is torn, flattened, or not making full contact with the cabinet.
