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.
