Possible Causes
Thickened lubricant in tracks, Frozen bottom seal, Force limits too low for cold conditions
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Clear ice and snow from the door path before operating.
Step-by-step:
- Remove ice: Clear ice and snow from the threshold and bottom seal area. Use a de‑icer if necessary.
- Clean tracks: Wipe excess grease or dirt from tracks. Use a light lubricant suitable for low temperatures on rollers and hinges.
- Adjust close force slightly: Increase the closing force parameter within safe limits to compensate for increased resistance in cold weather.
- Monitor: Re‑check force settings when temperatures rise to avoid excessive force.
