Possible Causes

Loose or bent hinges, Uneven leveling of cabinet, Warped door gasket, Reversed door not adjusted correctly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Have a helper support the door when adjusting hinges.

  • Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the unit is slightly tilted back, helping the door close by gravity.
  • Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws at the top and bottom. If hinges are bent, replace the door hinge kit.
  • Check gasket: Look for twisted or hardened gasket. Warm it gently with a hair dryer and reshape. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal.
  • Reversible door adjustment: If the door was reversed, ensure hinge spacers and screws are installed per Summit instructions.
