Possible Causes
Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned hinges, Overloaded door bins, Cabinet not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Use caution when adjusting doors; they are heavy.
Steps:
- Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the refrigerator is slightly tilted back, helping doors close by gravity.
- Inspect gaskets: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Close a sheet of paper in the door at various points; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak there.
- Reshape gasket: Warm warped areas with a hair dryer on low and gently pull the gasket toward the door frame to improve contact.
- Adjust hinges: On some Crosley models, loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position, then retighten.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged, replace it with a Crosley-compatible door gasket, soaking it in warm water before installation to improve flexibility.
