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.
