For Painting and others that think suction keeps the door shut!!
Suction or a vacuum does not keep the door shut. The magnetic strip in the door seal does. The reason for the difficulty opening the door soon after closing it is this,--- The fridge is full of cold air, open the door and some (heavy) cold air 'falls' out and some warmer air enters to replace it. Warm air has a greater volume than cold air, the door is closed and the greater volume of warm air cools and shrinks in volume, this causes the suction against the door seal which makes it hard to open. After a short while the external and internal air pressure is equalised via the not perfect door seal, and the door can now be opened easily.

Forget magnets or suction for a moment...
The first thing to take into consideration is design and level...
The door and the face that the door meets must meet exactly..
And the door as well as the whole unit must be level.
If the door mates correctly then gravity will keep the door shut...
Now apply a slight bit of suction caused by the air being circulated (And putting chilled air on the food)...
And the door stays shut..
And if there is a magnet involved its only there to insure an airtight seal of the door sill
Oh yea the light goes on and off because theres a itty bitty

Phosphorogic leons are cogessed across the fantic dispoles
of the anti- nebulator causing singular unpoling at precisely the same instant that the helmonic strobules are agitating,
causing the door to stay shut, some models just use a magnet.

NO,it has a tiny change which presses in and turns the easy off whilst the door is closed,,whilst opened the change releases and the easy comes on. I asked this question as quickly as myself and had all and sundry stumped lol x

that rubber strip running along the door is magnetized to seal it and keep it shut

Magnetic?! Is it? I thought mine stayed shut through vaccum power, which is why it's harder to pull it open immediately after shutting it (the fan hasn't had a chance to set the correct pressure)
Hm. Magnets.
Okay, if it's magnets, explain the above phenomenon.
