Possible Causes

Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned door hinges, Food items preventing full closure, Sagging door due to heavy items

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required for gasket checks.

  • Inspect gaskets: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the Electrolux door gaskets.
  • Paper test: Close the door on a sheet of paper and gently pull. If it slides out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
  • Warm and reshape: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm warped gasket areas and reshape them by hand. Do not overheat.
  • Adjust hinges: If the door is sagging, adjust the top and bottom hinges according to the service manual.
  • Replace gasket: If damaged, remove the old gasket from the door liner channel and press in the new Electrolux gasket, ensuring it seats fully.
