Door does not close properly or pops open slightly after closing

Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Damaged or compressed gasket, Unit not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have someone assist when adjusting the door to prevent it from falling.
- Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling legs so the cooler is slightly tilted back. This helps the door close and stay shut.
- Inspect hinges: Check top and bottom hinges for looseness. Tighten screws and ensure hinge brackets are not bent.
- Check gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
- Adjust door position: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door for even gaps around the frame, then retighten.
- Replace gasket or hinges: If the gasket is torn or hinges are damaged, replace them with Danby-compatible parts.
