The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    IIRC a trick you can do is take a heat gun (or failing that a hair dryer) and warm up the magnet gasket border thing. Then close the door and leave it for a bit. Something about it better forming to the correct shape and making a better and more consistent seal.

    Couldn’t hurt!

      This works on certain models, I have had success with Samsung and Whirlpool fridges but that’s my only experience

      That’s not the issue. It looks like there is a problem with the hinges. And no, oiling didn’t help.
