Possible Causes

Misleveled cabinet, Worn door hinge bushings, Overloaded door bins, Warped door gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when lifting or adjusting doors; doors can be heavy.

  • 1. Level the refrigerator: Adjust front leveling feet so the unit is slightly tilted back, helping doors self-close.
  • 2. Reduce door weight: Remove heavy items from door bins that may cause sagging.
  • 3. Adjust hinges: On some Hisense models, the top hinge allows minor adjustment. Loosen screws slightly, realign the door, and retighten.
  • 4. Inspect hinge bushings: If the door wobbles excessively, hinge bushings may be worn and should be replaced.
  • 5. Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is deformed and cannot be reshaped with warm air, install a new door gasket.
