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.
