Questions and answers Why do the front and sides of the refrigerator feel warm? Heating tubes are located beneath the surface to prevent condensation on a cold surface. Why are the doors sometimes difficult to open? When the door is closed and opened immediately thereafter, warm air which entered the refrigerator caused a pressure difference which tends to suck the door closed momentarily. Wait a little while and the door should open easily once more.
