“My fridge doors are hard to open. It seems it is too snug and you really have to pull hard to open, especially the freezer door. Also, the entire fridge slides out when I attempt to open any doors. What do you recommend to stop the wheels from sliding?”

Hello David. The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 26 Cu. Ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with Ice Maker - PrintProof™ Stainless Steel, Model # LRDCS2603S features two two front leveling legs and two small wheels in the rear. Make sure that the leveling legs are sitting squarely on the floor so the refrigerator does not move when opening the doors. What makes your doors hard to open is due to air inside the refrigerator or freezer "shrinking" as it gets cold. When the door is opened, cold air flows out of the refrigerator, and warm, humid air can flow in. When the door is closed, the warm air mixing with the cold air can create a vacuum which makes opening the door difficult. If the door is closed quickly or slammed shut, air is forced out and it may take several minutes for the vacuum that has been created inside the refrigerator to be released, after which the doors can be opened normally once the air equalizes. This is normal and is more likely to occur during the warmer, more humid times of the year. You can try rubbing paraffin wax or petroleum jelly along the edges of the entire gasket. Paraffin wax is used for canning and is safe for use around food...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ours is then same. I think this LG is like the SubZero we had in our previous home. The unit has a high compression seal right after closing to better preserve food. It loosens after about 30 seconds after closing.
