Possible Causes
Leaning cabinet, misaligned hinges, warped door gasket, shelves or bottles interfering with closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting hinges.
Steps:
- Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the cooler is slightly tilted back, helping the door close by gravity.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- Inspect hinges: Tighten loose hinge screws and adjust the door position if slots are provided.
- Gasket repair: Warm the gasket with a hair dryer on low and gently reshape it to improve sealing. Replace the gasket if it remains warped or cracked.
