Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners; uneven floor; cabinet not secured to wall. | Check and tighten all screws. Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Install or verify the anti-tip hardware is properly secured to the wall. |
| Door does not align properly or close smoothly. | Hinges are misaligned or loose; cabinet frame is not square; incorrect panel orientation during assembly. | Adjust the hinges (refer to assembly instructions for hinge adjustment details). Ensure the cabinet was assembled squarely. If panels were installed incorrectly (e.g., left/right swapped), partial reassembly may be required. |
| Shelves are not level. | Shelf pins are not fully inserted or are in uneven holes. | Ensure all four shelf pins are fully inserted into corresponding holes at the same height. |
