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

Safety: No electrical work is required.

Information and steps:

• 1. Understand normal behavior: It is normal for the door to be harder to open for a short time after closing due to pressure changes as warm air cools.
• 2. Wait a minute: Allow 30–60 seconds before reopening; the pressure should equalize.
• 3. Check vents: Some Bomann freezers have a small equalization vent or valve. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or dirt.
• 4. Inspect gasket: A very tight new gasket can increase suction; this usually eases with use.
