Possible Causes
Cabinet not level, Loose or bent door hinges, Deformed door gasket, Shelves or bottles interfering with door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work is required. Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting hinges.
Steps:
- Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling feet so the cooler leans slightly back, helping the door close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Check that hinge screws are tight and hinges are not bent. Tighten or replace as needed.
- Check gasket: Look for twisted or deformed sections of the gasket. Warm the gasket gently with a hair dryer and reshape it by hand if needed.
- Remove obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
Note: A poor door seal will affect temperature and cause condensation and frost issues, so correct alignment promptly.
