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

•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 ensure 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.

•The door will not be flush with the top of the cabinet. The top edge of the door will be 1/8 in. (3.175 mm) below the cabinet top.
