Possible Causes

Misaligned door hinges, Warped door, Damaged or compressed gasket, Unit not level causing door to swing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • 1. Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back; this helps the door stay closed.
  • 2. Inspect hinges: Check top and bottom hinges for looseness. Tighten mounting screws.
  • 3. Adjust door position: Loosen hinge screws slightly, reposition the door for even gaps, then retighten.
  • 4. Check gasket: Inspect for tears or flattened areas. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape if minor; replace if severely damaged.
