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.
