Possible Causes

Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Weak or missing magnetic strip in gasket, Unit not level causing door to swing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Unplug the cooler if you will be loosening hinges.

Steps:

  • Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back; this helps the door stay closed.
  • Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and the door is properly seated on the hinge pins.
  • Adjust door: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door for better alignment, and retighten.
  • Check gasket magnet: Run a small metal object along the gasket to feel for magnetic pull. If sections are weak, replace the door gasket.
