Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions for your mirror cabinet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not align or close properly. | Loose hinges or improper hinge adjustment. | Adjust the screws on the hinges to align the doors. Refer to the original IKEA assembly instructions for detailed hinge adjustment. Tighten any loose hinge screws. |
| Cabinet feels wobbly or loose on the wall. | Mounting hardware is not secure or wall anchors are insufficient. | Carefully remove items from the cabinet. Re-check the wall mounting screws and anchors. Ensure they are appropriate for your wall type and securely fastened. If necessary, use stronger anchors or locate wall studs. |
| Mirror appears streaky after cleaning. | Residue from cleaner or improper drying. | Use a clean, lint-free cloth and a small amount of mild glass cleaner. Wipe in one direction and immediately dry with a separate clean, dry cloth. Avoid over-applying cleaner. |
| Glass shelves slide or are unstable. | Shelf pins are not fully inserted or are missing. | Ensure all four shelf pins are fully inserted into the cabinet holes and that the shelf rests evenly on all pins. Do not overload shelves. |
