Possible Causes
Misaligned door hinges, Warped door, Weak or damaged door gasket, Faulty door switch or magnet alignment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal electrical work is required for basic alignment, but unplug if adjusting hinges near wiring.
Steps:
- 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves, bins, or tall items are not preventing the door from closing fully.
- 2. Inspect gasket contact: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Adjust contents or gasket as needed.
- 3. Adjust hinges: Use the adjustment screws on the upper and lower hinges to raise, lower, or shift the door so it closes squarely.
- 4. Verify switch operation: Press the door switch manually and confirm the alarm stops. If not, the switch or sensor may be faulty and should be replaced (see E10 entry).
