Magic Chef Refrigerator door flys open

There are a lot of possible causes, but I'd look at the door switches first, and the wiring connectors to them. Make sure the contacts on all the switches are opening and closing.

Lower the setting to your FREEZER this may be defrosting too often and the drip pan is over filling, or stop leaving the doors open too long .

When the compressor is working it will be cooling the refrigerator to the desired set temperature,when the desired temperature is reached the compressor will stop, that is quite normal....it will come back on again when the set temperature drops......the more that you open the fridge, the more the compressor has to work as everytime the door is opened the temperature inside the fridge will go up.

Hello,

Quite often when the door gets open for a extended period of time the vents in the ceiling of refrig.compantment where the cold air from the freezer enters the ref.section...by looking up in the rear of the ref.ceiling you should be able to see these vents and see if they are frozen..if they are frozen a hair blow dryer will thaw them

Where here in the east coast are ya im 20 miles north of the epicenter in dumfries va

just the gaskets are stuck use a butter knife to get under one from the side and see if that helps.

lack of sufficient air flow across the evaporator coils, clogged condensate drain, too much humid air (door open too much, bad seals, etc.), low refrigerant.

he may have punctured a freon line you will know for sure if it stops cooling.

unfortunatley when he drilled the hole in the cabinet he accidentally drilled a hole in the freon line this is not repairable you will have to replace the refrig. sorry for the bad news.. peyton
