Possible Causes
Warped or torn door gasket, Misaligned door hinges, Obstruction between door and cabinet, Loose door handle pulling door out of alignment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Work with the unit unplugged if you need to adjust hinges or remove the door.
- Inspect gasket: Run your hand around the Luma door gasket to feel for gaps, tears, or hardened sections.
- Warm and reshape: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm warped gasket areas, then pull them outward to improve contact. Do not overheat.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door so it sits square in the opening, then retighten.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is cracked or cannot be reshaped, remove it from the door channel and install a new OEM Luma gasket of the correct size.
After adjustment or replacement, close the door on a sheet of paper at several points; you should feel consistent resistance when pulling the paper out.
