Door Alignment and Adjustment
Align and adjust the door if it is not level, or is not sealing properly.
If the door is not sealed the unit may not cool properly, or
excessive frost may form in the interior.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be firmly in
contact with the cabinet all the way around the door (no
gaps). Carefully examine the door’s gasket to assure that
it is firmly in contact with the cabinet. Also make sure the
door gasket is not pinched on the hinge side of the door.
To align and adjust the door:

3. Make sure gasket is firmly in contact with cabinet all the way
around the door (no gaps).
