How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges.

  • Clear obstructions: Remove any ice or debris around the bin and door frame that may prevent full closure.
  • Inspect hinges: Check for bent or loose hinges. Tighten mounting screws and replace damaged hinges.
  • Check door alignment: Adjust the door position so it sits squarely in the opening and compresses the gasket evenly.
  • Replace warped components: If the door or bin is warped and cannot seal properly, replace with OEM EdgeStar parts.
