Thanks for any advice on this problem.

Clean the gasket with a dilute of bleach in water, then do the "dollar
bill" test. The gasket may be dirty and not sealing properly.

"...Putting a dollar bill in the refrigerator door as you close it has
long been a way to see if the seals or gaskets on the
refrigerator/freezer have deteriorated. If the bill stays in place,
then the seals are probably in good shape, and cold air is not leaking
out of the unit.

Note that many new refrigerators have magnetic door seals, and this
test won't work on them."


Wait...what?

Why would a magnetic door seal prevent the use of the dollar bill test?
