Freezer door keeps "creeping" open?

I have an upright refridgerator/freezer with the freezer on the top. It's an extra, in the basement, so I don't use it every day. Here's the problem: when I open the door, I find droplets of icy water on the top of the inside of the freezer, as if the door wasn't completely closed. Even though I give it an extra push when closing it, it seems to keep "creeping" open just enough to cause minor defrosting. I checked the seal with a piece of paper and the paper does not slide out easily, I cleaned the seal and there isn't anything protruding from the freezer to cause pressure on the door.





Is it time for a new freezer or is there something that can be done to fix it?

even though you may have checked it, it can only be a faulty seal.


It should make a kiss smacking noise when you open it if it makes a perfect seal and nothing is going to open it if the seal works. It is designed to seal and not open unless you pull on it with a certain amount of force.


Very likely it is the hinge side seal is deformed.
Reply:Try putting a thin coat of Vaseline on the seal around the door. This will help keep the door close.
Reply:If the door does`nt give you much resistance when you open it the seal needs to be replaced.
