Freezer door is hard to open right after closing; a vacuum seems to form.

Safety: No electrical hazards; use normal care.

Steps:

• Wait briefly: It is normal for the door to be harder to open for a minute or two after closing as air cools and contracts.
• Check vent: Some models have a small equalization vent. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or ice.
• Gasket adjustment: If the gasket is overly compressed, gently warm it with a hair dryer and reshape to ensure a proper but not excessive seal.
