Possible Causes

Unit not level, Warped door gasket, Obstruction on shelves or racks, Hinges loose or bent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: If tipping or moving the unit, unplug it and use caution to avoid injury.

Steps:

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust the front and rear leveling feet so the unit is slightly tilted back, encouraging the door to self-close.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure bottles or racks are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or hardened sections of the gasket. Warm gently with a hair dryer and reshape if needed.
  • Hinge adjustment: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position if the gap is uneven.
