Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door gasket, Shelves or bottles interfering with closure, Cabinet not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you need to remove the door or adjust hinges.

Steps to correct door closure issues:

  • 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • 2. Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back, helping the door close by gravity.
  • 3. Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it by hand to improve sealing.
  • 4. Hinge adjustment: Tighten loose hinge screws. If the door is sagging, adjust or shim the hinges to realign.
  • 5. Replace gasket: If the gasket is cracked or permanently deformed, replace it with a Brandt-specific door gasket.
