Possible Causes
Improper leveling or cabinet not square, Sagging door hinges, Deformed or hardened door gaskets, Items inside pushing against the door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Have a second person help when adjusting heavy doors to prevent injury.
Step 1 – Check for obstructions:
- Ensure shelves and bins are correctly installed and not interfering with door closure.
- Rearrange food items so nothing presses against the door.
Step 2 – Level the unit:
- Adjust leveling legs so the refrigerator leans slightly back; this helps doors close by gravity.
Step 3 – Inspect gaskets and hinges:
- Clean gaskets and check for tears or warping; replace if damaged.
- Adjust hinges per Fhiaba instructions to correct door height and alignment.
