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.
