Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the refrigerator is stable before adjusting feet or hinges.
Step-by-step:
- Level the unit: Adjust front leveling feet so the fridge leans slightly backward. This helps doors close by gravity.
- Check hinges: Inspect top and bottom hinges for looseness. Tighten mounting screws carefully.
- Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from door bins that may cause sagging.
- Clean gasket: Wipe the door gasket and mating surfaces with warm, soapy water to remove sticky residue.
- Gasket reshaping: If the gasket is slightly deformed, warm it gently with a hair dryer (low setting) and mold it back into shape, then close the door to set.
Note: Severely torn or hardened gaskets should be replaced.
