In a similar situation, how should we deal with it?
Reasons for the refrigerator door not closing tightly
Aging or deformed refrigerator door seals are the most common reasons for lax closure. As people frequently use the refrigerator and the door is repeatedly opened and closed, the door seal on the refrigerator door is prone to aging, deformation, etc., which makes the refrigerator door not tightly closed.
So, what is the door seal?
The refrigerator door seal exists between the refrigerator door and the cabinet, and it is mainly composed of soft polyvinyl chloride and magnetic rubber strips. The main function of the refrigerator door seal is to ensure the airtightness of the refrigerator door and prevent the cold air from leaking out, thereby maintaining the cooling effect of the refrigerator.

At this time, we must pay attention to timely replacement of the new refrigerator door seal.
What are the hazards of not closing the refrigerator door tightly?
