Possible Causes

Cabinet not level, Warped door gasket, Loose or bent hinges, Weakened magnetic seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the unit is stable before adjusting the hinges.

Steps:

  • 1. Level the unit: Adjust the leveling feet so the front of the cooler is slightly higher than the rear; this helps the door close by gravity.
  • 2. Inspect hinges: Check that the hinge screws are tight and the hinges are not bent. Adjust the hinge position if the door is sagging.
  • 3. Check gasket: Look for twisted or compressed sections of the gasket. Gently warm the gasket with a hair dryer and reshape it to improve sealing.
  • 4. Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or hardened, replace it with a La Sommeliere door gasket.
