Freezer door difficult to open immediately after closing; strong suction effect.

Safety: No electrical work required.

• Wait a few minutes: It is normal for the door to be harder to open for a short time after closing as internal pressure equalizes.
• Check vent (if present): Some models have a small vent to relieve vacuum. Ensure it is not blocked by packaging or ice.
• Open gently: Use the handle and pull steadily rather than jerking the door.
