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.
