Possible Causes
- Dirt or residue has built up on the door gasket
- The door seal is not sitting evenly against the cabinet
How to Fix
- Wipe the gasket and surrounding surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove any visible dirt or residue.
- If needed, clean gently using a mild detergent then wipe dry with a soft cloth.
- Check that the gasket sits flat and even along the door edge. Press gently to reseat if any areas appear raised or twisted.
- Close the door and ensure it seals smoothly without sticking.
Helpful Tips
- Clean the door gasket every three months using a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and warm water.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or sharp tools as these may damage the seal or door surface.
- A slight sound when the seal compresses is normal.
- If noise continues after cleaning, book a service repair with your model details ready.
