How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work required, but avoid using sharp tools on gaskets.

Steps:

  • Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the rubber seal.
  • Clean gasket: Wipe with warm soapy water to remove grease and debris that prevent sealing.
  • Adjust door: Check that the refrigerator is level and that doors self‑close. Adjust front leveling feet as needed.
  • Replace gasket: If damaged, warm the new Miele gasket in hot water to make it flexible, then press it into the door channel, ensuring full engagement.
