Possible Causes
Tight door gaskets, Rapid door closure creating pressure wave, Misaligned cabinet or doors
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal electrical work is needed.
- Close doors gently: Avoid slamming the refrigerator door; close it slowly to reduce pressure changes.
- Check leveling: Level the appliance so both doors close firmly and do not swing open.
- Inspect gaskets: Ensure both freezer and refrigerator gaskets are sealing properly but not excessively tight. Replace if deformed.
- Use door bins wisely: Avoid overloading door bins with heavy items that can cause doors to swing or bounce.
