Dometic refrigerator

[Jeff Miller]

Dave:

Does it happen mostly when re-opening after closing, especially just
after closing the freezer door? I have had this problem, after
closing the door the air inside rapidly cools and contracts, causing
a vacuum strong enough to prevent normal opening for about 10seconds
(can hear the air pull in around the seal).
