Possible Causes
Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned hinges, Cabinet not level, Magnetic seal weakened
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work is required; unplug only if moving the unit.
- Level the cabinet: Adjust the front feet so the cooler is slightly tilted back, helping the door close firmly.
- Inspect gasket: Check the door gasket for tears, deformation, or hardened sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if slightly warped.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly, realign the door so it sits square in the opening, then retighten.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or will not seal, replace it with a new door gasket designed for your Antarctic Star model.
