Refrigerator Door Not Sealing is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
A seal that has lived wet for years hardens unevenly and no longer recovers its shape, so it leaks while looking intact.
The rubber seal hardens and cracks over years of use, especially near hinges.
Heavy panel-ready doors can shift out of alignment over time, especially after a move or renovation.
This is a marine climate with a long cool wet season, so a cold door seal here rarely gets a chance to dry between cycles. A gasket that lives damp perishes and loses its set rather than tearing, which passes a visual check and still leaks — which is why so many of these arrive reported as a unit that runs constantly for no visible reason.
Based on symptoms like this, these are the components our technicians check first. The exact part depends on your model and what we find during diagnosis.
