Possible Causes
Door not fully latched, Obstruction between door and gasket, Misaligned door hinge, Worn door latch hook
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not slam the door; glass can break.
- Remove obstructions: Check for clothing or objects trapped between the door and gasket. Remove and close the door firmly until it clicks.
- Inspect gasket: Ensure the door seal is seated correctly and not folded or twisted, which can prevent full closure.
- Check hinge alignment: Gently lift the door to feel for excessive play. Tighten hinge screws if loose. If the door sags, adjust or replace the hinge.
- Examine latch hook: Replace the latch hook if it is bent, cracked, or worn so it no longer engages the lock fully.
