Possible Causes

Torn or hardened door gasket, Warped door, Loose door hinges, Obstruction preventing full closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting doors.

Steps:

  • Inspect door gaskets for tears, gaps, or areas not contacting the cabinet.
  • Clean gaskets with warm soapy water to remove debris.
  • Check for food containers or shelves preventing full door closure.
  • Adjust door hinges to raise or lower the door so it seals evenly.

Corrective action: Replace damaged gaskets with OEM Hotpoint gaskets. Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm and reshape new gaskets for a better seal.
