Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, warped door, items inside pushing against the door, weak or damaged gasket.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before adjusting hinges.
- Check for obstruction: Ensure no baskets or tall items are preventing the door from closing fully.
- Inspect hinges: Verify that hinge screws are tight and the door is level. Adjust the hinge position if necessary.
- Check gasket: Look for deformed sections that prevent proper sealing. Gently warm the gasket with a hair dryer and reshape it by hand.
- Replace gasket or hinges: If the door remains misaligned or the gasket is damaged, replace the affected parts with Bauknecht-compatible components.
