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.
