Possible Causes

Damaged or dirty freezer door gasket, Door not closing fully due to misalignment or obstruction, Door left open frequently or for long periods, Warped door liner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting doors. Unplug if you need to remove door components.

Steps:

  • 1. Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the gasket. Clean it with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
  • 2. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and food items are not preventing the door from closing fully.
  • 3. Adjust door alignment: If the door is sagging, adjust the hinge screws to raise or realign the door so it seals evenly.
  • 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or does not seal even after adjustment, replace it with a Fagor-specific freezer door gasket.
  • 5. Defrost excess ice: Manually defrost the affected areas to remove existing ice buildup.
