How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit if you need to remove the door or hinge components.
- 1. Level the unit: Adjust leveling legs so the front is slightly higher than the rear to help the door close.
- 2. Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust door position if slotted holes are provided.
- 3. Check gasket: Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing. Replace if torn or permanently deformed.
- 4. Remove obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not contacting the door.
