Possible Causes

Torn or deformed door gasket, Dirty gasket surfaces, Misaligned door hinges, Warped door liner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required. Avoid using sharp tools on gasket surfaces.

  • 1. Clean gaskets: Wipe door gaskets and mating surfaces with warm soapy water to remove grease and debris.
  • 2. Check for gaps: Close the door on a thin piece of paper at several points. If the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
  • 3. Adjust doors: Use hinge adjustments and leveling legs to align doors so gaskets contact evenly.
  • 4. Warm and reshape gasket: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm deformed sections and reshape them by hand.
  • 5. Replace gasket: If torn or permanently warped, replace the gasket with a Café-compatible part.
