Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Compressed or damaged gasket, Shelves or bottles interfering with closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have someone support the door if you are loosening hinge screws to prevent it from falling.

Proper door closure is critical for De Dietrich wine cooler performance.

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for flattened areas, tears, or hardened rubber. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
  • Adjust hinges: Loosen the hinge screws slightly and adjust the door so it is square with the cabinet and closes evenly. Retighten screws firmly.
  • Level the cabinet: Make sure the cooler is slightly tilted back by adjusting the front feet; this helps the door close by gravity.
  • Replace gasket or hinges: If the gasket or hinges are damaged beyond adjustment, replace them with genuine De Dietrich parts.
