Possible Causes

Worn or torn door gasket, Bent door hinges, Cabinet not level causing door to swing open, Magnetic strip in gasket weakened

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is unplugged if you are adjusting hinges that expose wiring.

Steps to improve sealing:

  • Level the cabinet: Use a spirit level and adjust the front feet so the cooler leans slightly back, helping the door close firmly.
  • Inspect gasket: Look for visible damage or areas where the gasket does not contact the frame.
  • Warm and reshape: Slightly warm the gasket with a hair dryer (on low) and gently pull it into shape to improve contact.
  • Replace gasket: If damage is significant, install a new door gasket designed for your Siemens model.
