How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting door components.
- Inspect door gasket: Check for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the gasket. Close the door on a sheet of paper; it should hold firmly all around.
- Adjust door alignment: Tighten or adjust hinges so the door closes squarely and evenly.
- Check bin position: Ensure the bin is fully seated and not preventing the door from closing.
- Verify bin cooling: Some models use a fan to circulate cool air around the bin. Listen for fan operation; if absent, the fan or bin thermistor may be faulty and require replacement.
