Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Warped door gasket, Loose or bent hinges, Magnetic seal weakened
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting hinges.
Steps:
- 1. Level the unit: Adjust leveling feet so the front of the cooler is slightly higher than the rear; this helps the door close by gravity.
- 2. Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and hinges are not bent. Adjust hinge position if the door is sagging.
- 3. Check gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections of the gasket. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
- 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or hardened, replace it with a La Sommeliere door gasket.
