Door does not close or seal properly; visible gap or door pops open slightly after closing.

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

Steps:

• Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door. Rearrange as needed.
• Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling legs so the cooler is slightly tilted back; this helps the door close and stay shut.
• Inspect gasket: Look for tears, hardened sections, or areas where the gasket does not contact the frame. Clean the gasket with warm soapy water and dry.
• Warm and reshape gasket: Use a hair dryer on low heat to gently warm warped sections of the gasket, then press them into place against the frame until they cool.
• Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position up/down or in/out, then retighten. Ensure the door is square with the cabinet.
• Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or will not seal, remove the old gasket (usually pressed into a channel) and install a new Magic Chef door gasket for your model.
