Possible Causes

Unit not level, Warped door gasket, Misaligned hinges, Shelves or bottles interfering with door

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit if you will be removing the door or hinges.

Steps:

  • 1. Level the cooler: Adjust the front leveling feet until the unit is slightly tilted back so the door naturally swings closed.
  • 2. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • 3. Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections of the gasket. Warm the gasket with a hair dryer on low and gently reshape it to improve sealing.
  • 4. Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it aligns evenly with the cabinet.
  • 5. Replace gasket if necessary: If the gasket is cracked or permanently deformed, replace it with a new Kalamera door gasket.
