Counter depth refrigerator M#: KBRC36FTS04. Door is hard to open right after it has been closed. It's like a vacuum or suction feeling. Otherwise it opens fine.

I agree the seals are good, but it is a problem. I can't get back in w/o pulling very hard. My wife virtualually cannot. Reopen it until it sits a minute. I like the fact it seals well, but when we are cooking, especially when both are cooking, it is more than inconvenient to wait for the door to Beatle to be opened. I appreciate the quick response. Thank you. I agree the seals are good, but it is a problem. I can't get back in w/o pulling very hard. My wife virtualually cannot. Reopen it until it sits a minute.

Try hanging a wash cloth in the door while working and cooking it may relieve much of the vacuum while needing to get in and out of the refrigerator so much.

I hope you are kidding! Are you serious, that they would make a fridge that you can only open after a minute's rest? There has to be some kind of valve or something that allows teh negative pressure inside a fridge to equalize. I saw below where someone wrote from another similar question to flush out the "Drain Tube" with boiling water and a Turkey baster. Does my fridge have such a tube, and if so, where is it and where does teh water drain to? I just can't believe this is normal. I have felt it on other fridges before, but never like this. I'm a big guy and I have to put one hand on the counter or cabinet to push from while I pull the door open. It's that difficult for a short while. This is like a time-lock on a safe. I appreciate teh help and hope you were just trying to be cute with t he rag suggestion. Thx, Joe I hope you are kidding!

Joe I wasn't trying to be cute I was only trying to make this less complex than having to go into the defrost condensate drain line and make an adjustment. If that is what you would like to do then I will be glad to assist you. Give me a few minutes so I can look up your model and I will be right back with you or just give me a call at 864-812-1887....John Simpsonville Appliance Repair Joe I wasn't trying to be cute I was only trying to make this less complex than having to go into the defrost condensate drain line and make an adjustment.

Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and disconnect the power from the wall. Remove the lower panel that covers the compressor and condenser. I'm not sure about the clamp that attaches the drain tube to the base of the fridge but be ready to remove the clamp if you see that it prevents you from 100% clear inspection of the drain from obstructions. There may be a duck bill on yours that is clogged but with the loop Drain there may not be a duck bill. Questions? Pull the refrigerator away from the wall and disconnect the power from the wall.
