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.
