Hi Amy.Please accept our sincerest apologies about the issues that you are experiencing with the door not sealing and popping open on your LG 25.5 Cu. Ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator with Ice Maker - Stainless steel, Model # LRDCS2603S. If you have a refrigerator door that is opening on its own, then there are really only two potential issues. Sometimes you may have both issues at the same time, while other times only one may be the cause. When your refrigerator door opens by itself, the two main causes are a faulty door gasket or your refrigerator is off-level. If is off-level, you may just need to level the refrigerator properly. Sometimes when a door won't close or seems to pop open on its own, the problem is a dirty seal. In a bowl, mix warm water with a drop of dishwashing liquid. Dip an old toothbrush into the mixture and use it to scrub the gasket. Be sure to get the grime on every side of the seal. Alternatively, your refrigerator doesn’t need to be sloping for the seal to fail. The door gasket, or the plastic seal around the outer edge, helps keep cold air in and warm air out. Yet, if this plastic is old, dirty, or otherwise damaged, then a tight seal will be unable to form. While a sloping refrigerator will cause the seal to fail. If it isn’t forming properly in the first place, even a level refrigerator door can swing open with just the lightest breeze. This is why sometimes these issues work together to cause the problem, and sometimes it is just one...^Ivan
