    Door sticking Refrigerator
    There's nothing sticky... it's a regular size refrigerator but all of a sudden
    The door sticks... and I mean needs two hand to open. I scrubbed in from
    Top to bottom... cleaned out the rubber near the floor and still can't figure
    Out what is wrong or how I can fix it.

    Any ideas? The inside works perfectly.

    I have a side-by-side and have noticed that if I try to get into the refrigerator immediately after being in the freezer there is some kind of vacuum effect that makes the door quite difficult to open. If I either open the refrigerator door before closing the freezer door, or just waiting about 15 seconds after closing the freezer door to open the refrigerator door it works fine.

    Not sure if that helps your issue or not, but I thought I'd share the observation.
