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.
