Possible Causes

Worn or deformed door gasket, Fridge not level, Overloaded door shelves, Hinges loose or bent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work required; unplug only if adjusting hinges near wiring.

Steps:

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust front feet so the fridge leans slightly back, helping doors close by gravity.
  • Inspect gasket: Check for tears, hardened sections, or gaps. Clean with warm soapy water and dry.
  • Warm and reshape: Use a hairdryer on low to gently warm deformed gasket areas and press them against the cabinet to improve sealing.
  • Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from door shelves that may twist the door.
  • Hinge adjustment: Tighten hinge screws. If the door is sagging, adjust or replace hinges as needed.
