Possible Causes

Misaligned door hinges, Warped door or cabinet, Obstructing shelves or bottles, Deformed door gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have a second person assist when adjusting heavy glass doors to prevent dropping or injury.

Steps:

  • 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • 2. Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or deformed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if minor; replace if badly damaged.
  • 3. Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge mounting screws slightly and adjust the door position so it aligns evenly with the cabinet. Retighten screws.
  • 4. Verify level: Level the cabinet so the door naturally swings closed rather than open.
  • 5. Test closure: Close the door and check that it seals all around without gaps.

Note: A poorly closing door leads to temperature instability and condensation; correct promptly.
