itself closed and is difficult
to open.
The side edge of the inner
door (on the handle side of
the door) appears to make
contact with the unit’s side
trim.

the side trim to be pushed
too far inward.

ing the unit in the cabinet
towards the side of the
hinges to allow the interfering
side trim to open up.
▯
Adjust the location of the
side trim screws to hold the
trim away from the door.
▯
Check the cabinet opening
that it is not too narrow.
Widen the cutout as neces-
sary.

onto the striker, the door
lifts itself upward.
▯
You will feel a slight
bump as the roller (inter-
nal to the door) hits the

If the door needs to lift
substantially, the door
will no longer pull itself
closed and assistance is
required to push it
closed fully.

too low to engage prop-
erly with the striker.

the handle side of the door
until it closes smoothly.

door, you feel an interfer-
ence that catches the door

opening. A similar interfer-
ence is felt when closing.
