VIDEO: The refrigerator door always opens
As with any kitchen appliance, there are also some basic rules for the refrigerator - especially for the door - that can prevent premature wear and tear.
Fridge door - large storage space invites you to overload
If you permanently overload your refrigerator door, it will negatively affect the hinges.
- The lower compartment of every refrigerator door is usually quite large and invites you to store several champagne bottles and milk containers. You increase the durability of the hinges if you do not completely load this storage space with such heavy weights.
- When cleaning your refrigerator, don't forget the seal. Unhygienic mold growth quickly occurs there. Also, dirt will prevent the refrigerator door from closing completely.
If the refrigerator door keeps opening because the door seal on your refrigerator door is damaged, try replacing it.

Troubleshooting - if the refrigerator door keeps opening
You have unloaded the door compartments and cleaned the seal. But that did not improve the situation. You can try to recreate the technique.
- This is only possible on the refrigerator doors of built-in refrigerators. However, this is no longer possible if the hinges have already warped due to the constant overload.
- If the door seal is broken, you have two options. Either change the seal or buy a new refrigerator right away.
- Seals can be ordered from specialist retailers. When ordering, pay attention to the exact designation of your refrigerator type. You can still face an obstacle: Door seals can either be screwed on or glued on.
- If the seals are screwed on, loosen the screws and pull off the old seal. Then attach the new seal.
- In the case of glued door seals, you should leave the renewal to a technician. Consider the high costs involved.
If your refrigerator door keeps opening or not closing properly, provide quick remedial action. Otherwise your electricity costs will unnecessarily increase immensely. In addition, the cooling function decreases even with continuous operation.
