My fridge or freezer door is difficult to open

Issue

• The fridge door is difficult to open
• The fridge door must be pulled hard before it opens

Applies to

• Refrigeration Bottom Mount
• Refrigeration Top Mount
• Refrigeration French Door
• Refrigeration Quad Door
• Refrigeration Sid by Side
• Refrigeration Vertical

Solution

If the door is difficult to open just after you have closed it this is due to the pressure equalising, the door will open normally after a few minutes

• Wait approx. one minute before opening the door again if it has just been closed.
• Check the cleanness of the surface of the gasket.
• Press your finger into the inside of a corner of the door seal to release some suction and make it easier to open the door soon after closing it.
