Possibilities:
* The hinges are out of alignment. Loosen the hinges and adjust them so
the seal doesn't rub on the hinge side.
* The seal is dirty. Clean it with a mild kitchen cleaner. Make sure to
get the crud out of the cracks. Clean the metal, too. When you're done
cleaning, clean it again with a new rag.
* The seal drags excessivly. Lubricate the surface of the seal with
petroleum jelly. This requires only a very thin coat. If you can see and
feel it, you put on too much.
* The seal is just worn out. Replace it. Remember to do the cleaning and
lubricating.

Free tip: To test for a good seal, close the door on a banknote. Try to
pull the banknote out. It should resist pulling out, but not to the point
of tearing. Repeat all around the door--the seal might be too tight in one
spot and too loose in another.

Thanks for the replies.


Making it worse than just gravity is that some stuff
inside got moved, so that it's weight (heavish) is somehow
vectored towards the door.

So the door swings shut, you hear it do that, but
then that weight goes to work, opening the door.

Maybe even it falls down a bit, getting wedged between
something now behind it and the door.

Does anyone get *that* kind of problem?


(Yeah -- one answer, "eat the damn food!, and then
don't keep it so full in the future!")

Everyone has this problem at some point. It's a human problem, not a
refrigerator problem. Change the behavior which causes the problem and
you'll be all set.
