Possible Causes
Unit not level, Worn or misaligned hinges, Obstructing shelves or containers, Weak door gasket magnet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Checks and adjustments:
- Level the refrigerator so it is slightly tilted back; this helps doors close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges for looseness; tighten mounting screws carefully.
- Ensure shelves and door bins are not hitting each other or the cabinet when closing.
- Check the mullion flap (if fitted between French doors) for correct movement and alignment.
Seal:
- If the gasket is deformed, warm it gently with a hair dryer (low setting) and reshape it to improve sealing.
