Possible Causes
Unit not level, Food items blocking door, Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned hinges
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use caution when adjusting doors; they are heavy and can pinch fingers.
- Remove obstructions: Check shelves and bins for items protruding and preventing full closure.
- Level the refrigerator: Adjust front leveling legs so the unit is slightly tilted back, helping doors self-close.
- Inspect gaskets: Examine door gaskets for warping or tears. Warm and reshape minor warps with a hair dryer on low.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position so it aligns with the cabinet, then retighten. If hinges are bent, replace the door hinge assembly.
