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.
