Freezer door difficult to open shortly after closing; strong suction effect.

Safety: No electrical work required for this issue.

Steps:

• Wait briefly: It is normal for the door to be harder to open for a short time after closing. Wait 1–2 minutes and try again.
• Check gasket: Ensure the gasket is not excessively sticky. Clean it with mild soapy water and dry.
• Inspect vent: Some Bosch freezers have a small pressure equalization vent. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or ice.

Note: This is usually a normal characteristic and not a fault unless the door remains extremely difficult to open for long periods.
