Possible Causes

Unit not level, Warped door gasket, Loose door hinges, Shelves or bottles interfering with closure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit if you need to adjust hinges or tip the cooler.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the front is slightly higher than the rear; this helps the door close by gravity.
  • Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
  • Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws at the top and bottom of the door. Adjust the door position if possible to ensure even contact with the gasket.
  • Gasket reshaping: Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and pull it outward where it is compressed to improve the seal. Replace the gasket if it is torn or permanently deformed.
