Possible Causes
Normal cooling of warm air creating vacuum, Door gasket sealing very tightly, Blocked cabinet pressure equalization vent
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No electrical work is required for this symptom.
Steps:
- 1. Wait a moment: It is normal for the door to be harder to open for a short time after closing. Wait 30–60 seconds and try again.
- 2. Check vent: Some Hansa models have a small vent to equalize pressure. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or ice.
- 3. Gasket lubrication: If the gasket sticks to the cabinet, lightly wipe it with a food-safe silicone conditioner to reduce sticking.
