Freezer drawers difficult to open, with vacuum effect after closing.

Safety first: No electrical work is required for this symptom.

Steps to ease drawer opening:

• 1. Wait briefly: After closing the freezer, wait a few minutes before reopening to allow pressure to equalize.
• 2. Check vents: Ensure any small vents or equalization ports are not blocked by food or ice.
• 3. Clean gaskets: Wipe seals with warm soapy water and dry to reduce sticking.
• 4. Light gasket lubrication: Apply a very thin film of food-safe silicone grease to the gasket if it is sticking excessively.
