Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Loose door hinges, Warped door gasket, Shelves or bottles interfering with closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting hinges. Have a second person assist if the door is heavy.
Steps to check and fix:
- 1. Level the cabinet: Adjust leveling feet so the unit is slightly tilted back.
- 2. Inspect hinges: Tighten hinge screws at the top and bottom of the door. Adjust hinge position if the door is sagging.
- 3. Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- 4. Inspect gasket: Replace the door gasket if it is deformed and preventing proper closure.
