Wine cooler door not sealing
The door gasket no longer creates an airtight seal.
Symptoms
Condensation on the glass or around the door, the door feels loose or does not close flush, or the unit runs more than usual.
Likely causes
Worn, perished or torn gasket, door hinge misalignment, or a warped door.
What you can safely check
Inspect the gasket for visible cracks, gaps or flattening. Close the door on a sheet of paper at several points — if it pulls out easily, the seal is compromised.
When to call a professional
If the gasket is worn or the door is misaligned, replacement or adjustment is needed. A poor seal causes cooling failure and condensation — book a specialist.
Our repair process
We inspect the gasket and door alignment, source a compatible replacement gasket, fit it, and adjust hinges if needed. We verify an airtight seal and correct cooling performance.
Parts that may be involved
Door gasket, hinges, door assembly.
Safety note
Refrigeration systems contain pressurised gas and live electrical components. Do not attempt to open the sealed system, handle refrigerant, or bypass safety controls. For any fault beyond the safe checks above, book a specialist technician.
