The fridge door sticks.The whole fridge moves when I open it. Annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Sorry to hear about the difficulties you've had here with your door, we're sure that'd be frustrating. When you open the fresh food or freezer door or drawer on your refrigerator, warm air rushes inside. When you close the door or drawer, all the warm air rushes to the evaporator, which in turn creates a vacuum. If you close one of the doors but then need to open one again right away, the vacuum makes the doors hard to open for about 10 to 15 seconds after closing. Once the air equalizes, the door or drawer will open as normal again.
If your doors or drawers are always hard to open, try rubbing paraffin wax or petroleum jelly along the edges of the entire gasket. Paraffin wax is used for canning and is safe for use around food. Don't use candle wax as it may contain chemicals that are not safe for use around food.
We do hope this is helpful!
If you have other questions or concerns, know that we're always here to help as best we can.
I bought this unit a month ago and it doesn't get cold enough.
