A month ago, my fridge door started to stick slightly when opening. I cleaned it off with paper towel and plain water. It no longer stuck. Until the next day, when it was stuck slightly. It is worst first thing in the morning.
I went away for 4 days and when I got back the door was severely stuck. The top would open slightly, but the bottom seemed to be glued on! I finally got it to open by prying it gently, then quite forcibly. No apparent damage done by using force, thankfully.
No sign of anything leaking onto the seal. It's always clean, but it likes to stick at the bottom, and it gets worse the longer the door is unopened.
My internet research so far says to use silicone lube on the door seal. Some people say petroleum jelly is also OK, but other people say petroleum jelly will degrade the seal quickly. No one says silicone will hurt it.
Suggestions?
Thanks
