Possible Causes
Unit not level, Loose door hinges, Warped door gasket, Obstructions on shelves or racks
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have someone assist when adjusting doors on larger units to prevent dropping the door.
Steps to correct door closure:
- 1. Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the cooler is slightly tilted back. This helps the door close and stay shut.
- 2. Check for obstructions: Ensure bottles or shelves are not protruding and hitting the door.
- 3. Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and the door is not sagging. Tighten screws as needed.
- 4. Adjust door position: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door for even gaps around the frame, then retighten.
- 5. Inspect gasket: Replace the door gasket if it is warped or hardened and not sealing properly.
Tip: After adjustments, close the door on a strip of paper at several points; you should feel resistance when pulling it out.
