Possible Causes
Uneven leveling, Worn door hinges, Overloaded door shelves, Magnetic gasket misalignment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have a second person support the door if removing hinge screws.
Steps:
- 1. Level the appliance: Adjust front feet so the fridge leans slightly backward, helping doors close by gravity.
- 2. Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from door shelves that may cause sagging.
- 3. Inspect hinges: Check for play or bending in the hinges. Tighten loose screws.
- 4. Replace hinges: If hinges are worn or bent, replace them with the correct Amica hinge kit.
- 5. Check gasket magnet: Ensure the gasket magnet is intact and attracts firmly to the cabinet.
