Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door gasket, Cabinet not level, Obstruction from shelves or bottles
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have a second person assist when adjusting or removing the door to prevent dropping it.
Steps:
- 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- 2. Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the front of the unit is slightly higher than the rear; this helps the door close by gravity.
- 3. Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and the door is not sagging. Tighten or adjust as needed.
- 4. Examine gasket: Look for twisted or deformed sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it, or replace if badly damaged.
- 5. Magnet check: Ensure the door's magnetic strip is intact and provides adequate pull against the frame.
