Possible Causes
Unit not level, a warped or damaged door gasket, loose door hinges, or shelves or bottles interfering with the door.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Have a second person support the door if adjusting hinges.
- Step 1 – Level cabinet: Adjust leveling legs so the front is slightly higher than the rear, encouraging the door to self-close.
- Step 2 – Check for obstructions: Ensure shelves and bottles are not protruding and hitting the door.
- Step 3 – Inspect gasket: Look for twisted or torn sections. Warm and reshape minor distortions with a hair dryer. Replace the gasket if it is badly damaged.
- Step 4 – Tighten hinges: Tighten hinge screws and adjust the door position so it is square with the cabinet.
