Possible Causes
Refrigerator not level, Warped or damaged door gasket, Overloaded door bins, Mullion flap misalignment on French door models
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work required.
- Level and tilt: Adjust the front leveling legs so the refrigerator leans slightly back, helping the doors to self-close.
- Inspect gaskets: Clean the gaskets with warm soapy water and check for tears or deformation. Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm and reshape minor warps.
- Check mullion flap: Ensure the center mullion flap on French door models moves freely and aligns with the frame.
- Reduce load: Remove heavy items from door bins that may cause sagging.
- Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or hardened, replace it with an LG-specific door gasket.
