Possible Causes

Unit not level front-to-back, Warped door or cabinet, Loose door hinges, Swollen or misaligned gasket

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Support the door when adjusting hinges to prevent it from falling.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust front leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back, helping the door self-close.
  • Inspect hinges: Check top and bottom hinges for looseness. Tighten hinge screws carefully.
  • Check gasket: Look for sections of the "Door gasket" that are not contacting the frame. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer (on low, at a distance) and reshape it to improve the seal.
  • Replace gasket if needed: If the gasket is torn or permanently deformed, replace it with a compatible Phiestina gasket.
