Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door gasket, Items blocking door, Refrigerator not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have a helper when adjusting doors to prevent tipping.

  • 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bins are not overfilled and nothing is protruding to block the door.
  • 2. Level the unit: Adjust front leveling feet so the refrigerator leans slightly back. This helps doors close by gravity.
  • 3. Inspect gaskets: Look for twisted or deformed sections. Warm the gasket with a hair dryer on low and gently reshape it to improve sealing.
  • 4. Adjust hinges: On some models, hinge screws can be loosened to realign the door. Adjust until the door closes evenly and seals all around.
  • 5. Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is torn or will not seal, install a new door gasket.
