Default freezer door pops open

F I have a GE GTS22KCMBRCC (top-freezer) refrigerator. After a couple of
F months it developed a minor but annoying habit: when the main
compartment
F door is closed firmly the freezer door pops open. I don't have a
F problem cultivating the habit of closing both doors at once but I've got
F two absent-minded school age kids and they're not picking up on this.

F How do I go about diagnosing or fixing this?

I think that there must be a crack or opening in the insulating between the
two compartments and the compression of air as you close the fridge is
pumping through the crack and opening the freezer door. There shouldn't be
any passage between the two compartments, but I'm thinking maybe there is a
simple valve or venting arrangement that's frozen up. Try De-frosting the
whole thing and see if it makes any difference. Should be done regularly
anyway.
