My fridge door will not close. When I try to close it, it just pops open. Looks like the rubber layer on the inside doesn't stick. Please help!

This happens because the refrigerators of today are air tight, the fresh food door pushes the air into the cabinet as it closes and the air has no place to go but up the air vent into the freezer and "pops" open the freezer door. First thing is make sure the freezer door is capable of closing properly and is not rubbing or catching anywhere. I sometimes add a washer or 2 to the center hinge under the freezer door so it doesn't rub anything. Put a little Vaseline ( or food grade silicone lubricant ) on the hinge side of the seal. I then raise the front of the refrigerator so that the front of the refrigerator is a little higher than the back of the refrigerator. Never level a fridge with a level. Once you have the door closing properly and front slightly higher than the back...let the fresh food door close from 90 degrees on it's own and the freezer door may "pop" open a little but will close again on it's own...and stay closed once all is set up properly. We see this more often now and have no trouble with the door staying open again after setting up the refrigerator properly.

raise the front legs so the machine is tilted back a little,this will help the top door close easier,also most likely you have nothing heavy on the door itself,all a fridge does is move air,the evaporator coil gets cold and the evap. fan blows cold air from the freezer into the fridge side and the air keeps circulating,when you shut the top door it's pushing the air down into the freezer and popping the door open,like i said raise the front legs a little and put stuff on the freezer door so it has some wieght to it and it won't pop open.hope this helps salde

two things could be wrong... first and easiest. if the surface where the door comes in contact with the fridge is dirty, it will cause the door to not stick. second, some fridges use magnets in the seal. first clean the surfaces with a good household cleaner... if that doesn't work, find an appliance store and find a new seal.

1st ckeck that nothing is sticking out just far enough to pop the door open.if not that, than the gaskets can were out on frig doors , you can order it on line from all appliances, get the model # from inside the frig , be patient installing it , its tricky, but it can be done by Harry homeowner. good luck.

when you close the fridge door you create pressure in the fridge and the freezer door may pop open, close it more softly. or there may be stuff pushing against the inside of the freezer door

mINE IS DOING EXACTLY THE SAME - I'VE HAD IT ABOUT 2 WEEKS BUT ONLY STARTED MAKING THIS SOUND TODAY AND AS YOU SAY ONLY WHEN THE FRIDGE DOOR IS OPENED AND THEN SHUT!

The dool seal is not sealing completely on your fridge door . Maybe pulled in corner , split somewhere . If looks ok , then magnetic portion is not sealing against cabinet somewhere . Once you find the area , use a hairdryer to soften the rubber while door closed and it will pull itself down due to the magnet .

well u need to check the rubber of ur freezer ;s door .some damaging in the rubber is causing the problem.

The seal on your door may not be sealing properly, when you close the door the seal helps create a vacuum which keeps your door closed firmly, you might need to replace the door seal, you could also try leveling your fridge by putting shimmys underneath the feet, you might also want to check to make sure there is nothing sticking out of your fridge such as drawers or food racks that may keep the door from closing all the way. good luck.

Had the same problem. I'd already tried waggling the drain rod from inside the fridge but to no avail. I pulled out the fridge and pulled off the 'top hat' end on the very end of the corrugated drain pipe. Inside was pretty gunky.
Just clean it thoroughly especially around the little rubber mushroom and the problem goes away. Simples
