Possible Causes
Warped door gasket, Loose or bent hinges, Cabinet not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before making hinge adjustments to avoid pinched fingers.
Steps:
- Level cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the cooler is slightly tilted back. This helps the door close by gravity.
- Inspect gasket: Look for twists, tears, or hardened sections. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer (on low, outside the cabinet) and reshape it by hand to improve sealing.
- Adjust hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it aligns evenly with the cabinet.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or will not seal, replace it with a Simzlife‑specific door gasket.
