Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, warped door, swollen or twisted gasket, shelves or bottles interfering with closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have a second person assist when adjusting or removing the door to prevent injury or damage.
Steps to fix door closure:
- Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- Inspect gasket: Look for deformed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if minor; replace if severely warped.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the cabinet, then retighten.
- Verify level: Level the unit so the door naturally swings closed.
