Possible Causes
Misaligned hinges, Warped door, Weak or damaged door gasket, Items inside pushing against door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Prevent the door from slamming; glass containers inside may break.
- Check for obstructions: Rearrange food so that no items protrude and contact the door when closing.
- Inspect gasket: Look for gaps between the gasket and cabinet. Replace the gasket if it is torn, deformed, or hardened.
- Adjust hinges: Loosen hinge screws slightly and adjust the door so it is level and square with the cabinet, then retighten.
- Check leveling: Ensure the front of the freezer is slightly higher than the rear so the door closes by gravity.
