Possible Causes
Damaged or hardened door gasket, Door hinges misaligned, Obstruction preventing full closure, Warped door
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work is required; unplug only if adjusting hinges near wiring.
- Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or areas where the gasket does not contact the cabinet.
- Paper test: Close the door on a strip of paper and pull it out. If it slides out easily in some areas, the seal is weak there.
- Clean and soften gasket: Clean with warm soapy water. For slightly deformed gaskets, gently warm with a hair dryer and reshape by hand.
- Adjust hinges: If the door is sagging, adjust the hinges to raise or realign the door.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is cracked or cannot be reshaped, replace the door gasket with a genuine Gorenje part.
