Possible Causes
Loose door hinge screws, Bent hinge, Worn door strike, Misaligned cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges or latches.
- Inspect hinges: Check hinge screws on the door and cabinet side. Tighten any loose screws.
- Check door strike: Inspect the strike for wear or bending. Replace if damaged.
- Adjust leveling: Ensure the unit is level; a twisted cabinet can misalign the door.
- Replace hinge if bent: If the door sags or rubs, replace the hinge assembly with a compatible NewAir part.
