    Default Door adjustment Beverage Air

    I just replaced the door gasket on my old BM23. I need to adjust the hinge side of the door outward. Is this possible?

    Not very easily. I presume you are having a problem with the door springing back open. This is not uncommon with new gaskets. Until the new gasket "wears in" you may have to temporarily tape the door shut or prop something heavy against it. In time it should compress enough to stay closed.

    Default Door adjustment Beverage Air

    Thanks, I hope you're right. I've filed the holes in the existing hinge to give myself some adustment in and out and it's working a bit better. I'm making a new top hinge with more adjustment capability. There is a screw on the front of the unit near each hinge but they don't seem to have any effect on the hinge position. The new gasket doesn't seem to have strong enough magnets.

    Default shim

    you can put a shim under the hinge, but training the gasket is better- with tape as above.
