How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of the door while testing; it may move unexpectedly.

Steps to try:

  • Inspect bottom seal and floor: Ensure the seal is not catching on uneven floor surfaces.
  • Adjust close limit: Move the close limit so the door stops slightly earlier, just as it contacts the floor.
  • Re‑learn force: Perform a full travel and force learning cycle if supported by your Novoferm model.
