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.
