Possible Causes
Deformed or torn door gasket, Loose or bent hinges, Overloaded door shelves, Cabinet not level causing door to swing open
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No electrical work required; unplug if you need to remove doors.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect gasket: Look for splits, hardened sections, or areas not contacting the cabinet.
- 2. Warm and reshape: Use warm water or a hairdryer on low setting to gently soften and reshape minor gasket distortions.
- 3. Level the cabinet: Adjust front feet so the refrigerator leans slightly back, helping doors close automatically.
- 4. Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust door height/angle as needed. Remove heavy items from door shelves if they cause sagging.
When to call a technician: If the gasket is badly damaged, replace it with the correct Indesit door seal for your model.
