Possible Causes
Warped or loose door hinges, Compressed or torn door gasket, Cabinet not level, Shelves or bottles interfering with door closure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting hinges to avoid accidental fan or light operation.
- Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back, helping the door close firmly.
- Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the gasket. Warm the gasket with a hair dryer on low to relax minor warps and improve sealing.
- Check hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it is square with the cabinet opening.
- Remove obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and preventing full closure.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or cannot be reshaped, install a new Wine Enthusiast door gasket, pressing it fully into the channel.
