Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Weakened magnetic gasket, Items inside pushing against the door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance if you need to remove the door or adjust the hinges.
Steps:
- 1. Check for obstructions: Ensure baskets or tall items are not pressing against the door from the inside.
- 2. Inspect hinges: Tighten any loose hinge screws. Adjust the door position so it aligns squarely with the cabinet opening.
- 3. Test gasket magnetism: Close the door on a thin metal strip; it should hold the strip firmly. If not, replace the door gasket.
- 4. Level the cabinet: Ensure the freezer is slightly tilted back so the door closes by gravity.
