Possible Causes
Worn door hinges, Sagging door due to heavy items, Deformed or torn door gasket, Refrigerator not level
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have a second person assist when lifting or adjusting heavy doors.
Steps to improve door closure:
- Level the cabinet: Adjust the front leveling feet so the Vestfrost refrigerator tilts slightly backward, helping doors close by gravity.
- Inspect hinges: Check upper and lower hinges for wear or looseness. Tighten mounting screws and replace worn hinge parts if necessary.
- Examine door gasket: Look for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Warm the gasket with a hair dryer (on low) and gently reshape to improve sealing, or replace if damaged.
- Reduce door load: Remove heavy items from door shelves that may cause sagging.
Test: Close the door on a sheet of paper; you should feel resistance when pulling it out all around the gasket.
