A high-pitched squealing or chirping noise occurs when the doors are opened or closed.

Safety first: Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants near gaskets, as they can damage the rubber.

Step 1 – Locate the noise source

• Open and close each door slowly to identify which hinge or area is squealing.

Step 2 – Lubricate hinges

• Apply a small amount of food-grade silicone lubricant to the door hinge pins and bushings.
• Open and close the door several times to work the lubricant in.

Step 3 – Check door alignment

• Verify that the door is not sagging or rubbing against adjacent panels.
• Adjust the hinge screws or leveling legs to correct the alignment.

Step 4 – Treat sticking gaskets

• Clean the gaskets with warm, soapy water and dry them.
• Lightly dust with food-grade silicone spray or talc to reduce sticking.
