Answer This Question
1-1 of 1 Answer
Hello, Shyrl. We appreciate your inquiry. This is usually due to one of the following reasons: Why the Door Shuts Too Tight: Air Pressure Difference: When you close the fridge, warm air gets trapped inside. As it cools, it creates a vacuum, making the door harder to open. Tight Hinges: The door hinges might be too tight, making the door press too hard against the seal. Sticky Seal: The rubber seal around the door might be sticky or compressed, making it tough to open. How to Prevent It: Wait a Moment: After closing the door, wait a few seconds before reopening it. Adjust Hinges: Make sure the door hinges aren't too tight. Clean the Seal: Regularly clean the rubber seal with soapy water to keep it from sticking. Use a Dehumidifier: If your kitchen is humid, use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture. Lubricate the Seal: Apply a little petroleum jelly to the seal to keep it from sticking.
