Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door gasket, Overloaded door shelves, Refrigerator not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Be cautious when adjusting doors; support the door to prevent it from dropping.
Steps:
- Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the refrigerator leans slightly backward, helping doors close by gravity.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and food items are not hitting the door or gasket.
- Inspect gasket: Look for twists, gaps, or hardened sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it by hand to improve sealing.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door for even gaps, and retighten. Refer to the Gorenje manual for hinge adjustment points.
- Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is torn or deformed, replace it with a Gorenje-specific door gasket.
