Possible Causes
Bent or loose door hinges, Warped door gasket, Overloaded door shelves, Cabinet not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before adjusting hinges to avoid accidental fan or compressor operation.
- Level the unit: Adjust front feet so the fridge leans slightly back, helping doors close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Check top and bottom hinges for looseness. Tighten screws and ensure the door is aligned with the cabinet.
- Check gasket: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if needed.
- Avoid overloading: Reduce heavy items in the door shelves that may twist the door.
- Replace gasket: If the seal is torn or permanently deformed, replace with a Candy-specific door gasket.
