Freezer door is difficult to open again immediately after closing; a vacuum seems to hold it shut.

Note: A temporary vacuum making the door hard to open for a few seconds after closing is normal.

• Wait briefly: Allow 30–60 seconds after closing before reopening to let pressure equalize.
• Check vent (if present): Some models have a small vent; ensure it is not blocked by packaging or debris.
• Inspect gasket: If the door is extremely hard to open even after several minutes, check that the gasket is not overly compressed or misaligned.

This condition is usually not a fault and does not require repair unless the door cannot be opened at all.
