Solution

Fridge or Freezer door not closing properly

• Door was closed too hard, causing another door to open slightly.
• Refrigerator is not level. It rocks on the floor when moved slightly.
• Refrigerator is touching a wall or cabinet.
• Check gasket and cabinet interface for any obstructions

Check the following

• Check the installation
• Ensure floor is level and solid and can adequately support the refrigerator.
• Clean the refrigerator door gaskets and interface with warm, soapy water to remove any grease, dirt and grime from the surface. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Inspect the gasket to make sure it is thoroughly clean.
• Close both doors gently.

Freezer door pops open.

• This is normal and should re-close. This happens when the refrigerator door is closed too quickly.
• If the freezer door stays open, it indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backwards a little further. Refer to section “Installing your new appliance” in the user manual for your particular model

Door not sealing properly

• Ensure there is nothing that is preventing the door from closing such as appliance contents or items placed near the appliance.
• Ensure that the crisper/freezer bin is closed completely.
• Ensure the appliance is set up as per recommendations.

Self-close not working

• Check if your appliance has self-closing hinges as not all models do.
• It indicates that the appliance needs to be tilted backwards a little further. Refer to section “Installing your new appliance” in the user manual for your particular model.
