Misaligned hinges, Cabinet not level, Obstruction between door and cabinet, Warped door or gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Have a second person help support the door if removing or adjusting hinges.

  • 1. Level the cabinet:
    • Adjust leveling feet until the unit is perfectly level or slightly tilted back.
  • 2. Check for obstructions:
    • Ensure shelves or bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • 3. Adjust hinges:
    • Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door position so it aligns evenly with the cabinet.
    • Retighten screws securely.
  • 4. Inspect gasket:
    • Replace if deformed and preventing proper closure.
