Is the rubber seal (door gasket) in the refrigerator door loose unlike before?
Does the refrigerator door gasket not adhere well to the refrigerator?
Causes and Symptoms
- The refrigerator is too full or the refrigerator shelves are assembled incorrectly.
- The door gasket is stained with residue such as food particles and grime.
- The door gasket is damaged.
The door gasket keeps the refrigerator door closed to prevent cold air from leaking out.
There is a rubber magnet inside the door gasket to ensure adhesion without any gaps.
Clean the door gasket with a detergent frequently to keep it clean.
Try this
Is there so much food in the refrigerator that the door does not close properly?
➔ Take some of the food out and close the door.
If the refrigerator is full of food, the refrigerator door will not close properly.
Also, if there is too much food in the door bins, the refrigerator door may become heavy and fail to adhere to the refrigerator body.
Does the refrigerator door not close because the refrigerator shelves are not assembled correctly?
➔ Remove any incorrectly assembled drawers or shelves and reassemble them.
If a drawer or shelf is not assembled back into place after cleaning the refrigerator, the refrigerator door may not close properly.
Are objects like refrigerator covers or plastic bags getting caught when you open and close the refrigerator door?
➔ Such objects cause the refrigerator door to not close properly, so please remove them.
If there is a cover on top of the refrigerator, or if there are plastic bags in the door bins, please remove them as they may get stuck in the refrigerator door.
Is the door gasket stained with residue such as dust, food particles, etc?
➔ Clean the door gasket using a detergent.
If the door gasket is stained with foreign substances such as hardened food, its sealing ability may degrade and the door may not close tightly.
Wipe the door gasket with a hot steamed towel and then clean it using a detergent applied toothbrush or sponge.
Has the door seal fallen out from the refrigerator door?
➔ Press the door gasket back into its groove with your hands.
If parts of the door gasket are protruding or sagging, press the parts back into the groove on the refrigerator door.
To ensure better door closure, check if the fridge is level with the floor, then slightly elevate the front side.
