Possible Causes
Misaligned door hinges, Warped door gasket, Racks or bottles interfering with closure, Cabinet not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting hinges.
Steps:
- 1. Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the front is slightly higher than the rear; this helps the door close by gravity.
- 2. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- 3. Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly, realign the door so it sits squarely, then retighten.
- 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is deformed and does not seal, replace it with a new Electrolux door gasket.
