UD-35 SERVICE UPDATE FIRST HALF—2009 - Whirlpool

DOORS OUT OF PLANE –SxS
Condition: Doors are sealing but one door sticks out away from the cab more than
the other by more than 1/4” (1/4” or less is normal but can be adjusted out.) In most
cases there is an apparent difference in the compression of the gaskets on the hinge
and handle side.

Service Fix: SxS
- Applying permagum under corner of compressed gasket will work in most
cases.
-Heat gasket w/ heat gun or hair dryer, stretching gasket while applying heat,
then apply ice cube to gasket so that it takes new stretched set.
-If loss of door seal, move top hinges in and out by loosening tap plate screws,
not hinge screws. See figure 1
Gasket may be too compressed on hinge side, moving top hinge in has re
verse affect on handle side and pulling hinge out may move handle side in.
