Possible Causes

Misaligned door hinges, Warped door gasket, Shelves or bottles interfering with closure, Cabinet not level

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit if you will be adjusting hinges or moving the cooler.

Steps:

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back; this helps the door close by gravity.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves are fully inserted and bottles are not protruding.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or deformed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it against the cabinet if needed.
  • Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly, realign the door so it sits square in the opening, then retighten.
  • Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or will not seal, install a new Fagor door gasket.
