Possible Causes

Rapid cooling of warm air creating vacuum, Blocked cabinet pressure equalization vent, Door gasket sealing too tightly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: A temporary suction effect after closing the door is often normal on Leisure freezers.

Steps:

  • 1. Wait a moment: Allow 30–60 seconds before reopening; the pressure should equalize.
  • 2. Check vent: Some models have a small vent or valve to equalize pressure. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or ice.
  • 3. Gasket lubrication: Lightly wipe the gasket with a damp cloth; avoid oils or greases that can damage rubber.
