Possible Causes
Loose or sagging door hinges, Warped door gasket, Cabinet not level, Shelves or bottles interfering with door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No electrical work is required; unplug only if moving the unit significantly.
- Step 1 – Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles do not protrude beyond the front edge and that nothing is trapped between door and cabinet.
- Step 2 – Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the cabinet is slightly tilted back, helping the door close and stay shut.
- Step 3 – Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws and check for play. Replace worn hinges if the door sags.
- Step 4 – Examine gasket: Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing. Replace if it remains warped or cracked.
