Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges to avoid accidental fan/compressor operation while working.

Steps:

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the front is slightly higher than the rear, encouraging the door to self-close.
  • Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it is square with the cabinet.
  • Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for twists or gaps. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if needed. Replace if torn or permanently deformed.
