places. The different areas involved
with the closing of the door are as fol-
l o w s . . .
_______ Plastic Channel _________
The plastic channel area: This includes
the top, bottom, v-track, and bumpers.
a. Inspect the top and bottom chan-
nels for blockage. Inspect the v-
track for dents or movements that
may be causing the door to bind.
The v-track may be adjusted
slightly by bending the "v" with a
number 8r vise grips. The v-track
can be realigned or replaced.
Shims under the door can be
adjusted or added to, to improve
the seal and speed of closing of
the door.

The door: This area includes v-roller
bracket assembly, stainless insert hold-
er, slot on top of door (where cord is
fastened) the foam tape on the door,
and the plastic buttons on the inside of
the door.
a. Inspect the v-rollers, clean,
realign, and lubricate (the rollers
should spin freely) or replace.
Be sure the roller bracket screws
do not touch the v-track.
b. Check to make sure door is
square. If not loosen stainless
insert holders then retighten insert
holders. Push on glass insert and
break the seal between insert and
2 sided tape. Square the door by
placing shims between frame and
glass insert, and then reinstall the
insert holders.
c. Replace the door (with door dis-
connected) from cord. Slide the
door in both directions. Look for
binding in the channel area at the
top and bottom. Check the stain-
less insert holder, the 1/4" - 3/8"
foam tape, the nylon buttons,
and the gasket. Adjust or replace
the v-track to ease any binding.

the cord. Pull the cord and
release it gradually. Does the
weight feel like it is binding?
Remove the knot in the weight.
Remove any excess cord at the
knot. The knot should be inside
the weight to minimize the fric-
tion. Is the weight dropping in
the middle of the cover or to the
front of the cabinet? The weight
dropping in the middle of the
cover or to the front of the cabi-
net? The weight should hang in a
vertical position (no angle).
Inspect the weight itself and the
holes in it. Replace the weight if
holes are to far off center and are
effecting the travel in the door
weight area.
___________ Gasket ____________
The gasket area: This area includes the
3" plastic, 1 3/8 plastic, the gasket and
the 11/16" gasket insert holder. Inspect
the door to make sure it is seating
against gasket.
