Hello,
I’ve just purchased a new AEG integrated fridge freezer. Model SCE818VTS. I’ve installed it myself. Both the fridge door and freezer door close fully.
After I close the fridge compartment door, I can then open it straight away without any resistance at all. Is this right?
Re: Fridge door can be opened easily straight away after clo
not sure what u mean
when you say no resistance how much are you looking for ?
as long as the seal is in contact all the way round I don’t see any problem. if you have been used to a self defrosting fridge freezer some of these can hold the door closed as the warm air contracts when you close the door

Thanks for your reply Dave
In the past, all fridges and freezers I’ve had, have been difficult to open the door for about 10 to 15 seconds after the door is closed. As you say, “they hold the door shut”.
On this AEG model, the freezer compartment acts exactly like that; it holds the door shut for about 10 to 15 seconds after the door is closed. However the fridge compartment doesn’t do this. I can close and open this door straight away. It doesn’t hold the door shut at all.
My concern was that this isn’t right, maybe the door isn’t sealing correctly or the vacuum isn’t being created as it should.
Re: Fridge door can be opened easily straight away after clo
vacuum is only created if the unit is completely sealed. as you close the door the warm air contracts but on most fridge models there is a drain tube at the rear that will let air in to equalize the pressure
anyway as said before don’t worry unless the door seal is not contacting the unit
