Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Damaged or hardened gasket, Unit not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have assistance when adjusting the door to prevent dropping it.

  • Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the cabinet is level side-to-side and slightly tilted back.
  • Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and not bent. Adjust hinge position to align the door with the cabinet.
  • Examine gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing, or replace if damaged.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves or bottles are not preventing the door from closing fully.
