Side Hinge Door Opening/Closing Troubleshooting Guide

Primary observation

Additional observations

Cause:

Solution

The door does not pull 

itself closed and feels 

difficult to open as well.  
 

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 installation is 

causing the side 

trim to be pushed 

too far inwards.

Check the installation of the unit in the 

cabinetry.  Try to move the unit in the cabinet 

towards the side of the hinges as much as 

possible to allow the interfering side trim to 

open up.
May also try to adjust the location of the side 

trim screws to hold the trim away from the 

door.  
Check again the cabinet opening to ensure 

that it is not too narrow.  Widen the cutout as 

necessary.

The door does not hold 

itself closed.   

Very little force is required 

to pull open the door.

The door catch 

mechanism 

internal to the 

door has 

inadvertently 

tripped while the 

door was open.   

To reset the mechanism, close the door 

completely and while closed, push in firmly on 

the door handle until the mechanism resets. 
A firm push may be required.  Open to test.

The door does not close 

onto the striker 

smoothly.
Once closed, the door 

opens without incident.

When closing the door onto 

the striker, the door lifts 

itself upwards.  
You will feel a slight bump 

as the roller (internal to the 

door) hits the tip of the 

striker and lifts the door.
If the door needs to lift 

substantially, the door will 

no longer pull itself closed, 

and assistance is required 

to push it closed fully.

The door 

alignment is too 

low to engage 

properly with the 

striker.
See figure B in the 

side hinge door 

alignment 

instructions.

Refer to the side hinge door alignment 

procedure to raise the handle side of the door 

until the door closes smoothly.
It should open smoothly and pull itself closed 

smoothly without hearing or feeling an 

interference.

The door does not close 

onto the striker 

smoothly.
Once closed, the door 

may also appear to 

stick while pulling the 

door open

While trying to open the 

door from a closed position, 

you feel an interference that 

catches the door and may 

prevent it from opening.   

You feel a similar 

interference when closing.

The door 

alignment is too 

high to engage 

properly with the 

striker.
See figure A in the 

side hinge door 

alignment 

instructions.

To open a sticking door, apply pressure 

downward on the handle while pulling.
Refer to the side hinge door alignment 

procedure to lower the handle side of the door 

until the door closes smoothly.
It should open smoothly and pull itself closed 

smoothly without hearing or feeling an 

interference.
