did you leave it to stand with no power on for an hour. ? check the door seals are clean and the door close properly. wipe them down on the magnetic seals around the doors. plugging in the unit before it settles can leave air in system from being moved around. this makes the system work harder and gets to hot. in the line.
Seal needs to be replaced around door. Make sure magnetic strip is tight against sides of refrigerator, even if you have to cut the outside so it lays flat against the sides.
seal around freezer door may be warped/old/cracked... or thermostat is not working properly.
Try duct taping door as tightly shut as possible and check around the time it freezes to see if that fixes the problem. If so, the seal (that has magnets so it will seal completely) needs to be replaced.
If that doesn't fix the problem, it could be a faulty thermostat in the freezer.
do you mean the door seals,if so you may need new ones or you have lost the vacuum in your ff, they are not magnets they feel like it but it is vacuum sealed,,try a ff second hand shop
Check the door is square to the frame and no shelves are sticking out stopping the door from closing properly. The seal should be magnetic and stick to the frame quite well.Check no metal strips have come off so the magnetic seal isn't attaching to the frame
The door seal has a magnetic property to it. Until the freezer gets to a certain degree the magnetic porperties of the door seal dont react properly. Make sure the door seal is properly adjusted. If the door was left open it could have semi warped the door. This gets corrected when temp drops to correct temp. Reset freezer by unplugging and waiting for a few minutes. If problem persist contact appliance technician.

Is the door gasket torn?? if not try cleaning the rubber surface that makes contact with the metal portion of the fridge and clean the metal area also, because inside the rubber gasket is a magnet that helps the gasket seal properly.I've seen door gaskets range in price from $50.00-$100.00 so if thats the only problem it sure beats buying a new fridge for a whole lot more money.
Your door seal is not sealing properly . Check and use a hairdryer to soften the seal and the magnetic portion should seal itself against the cabinet .
Make sure the door is not out of alignment,and nothing is preventing the door from closing properly, check for loose or broken door hinge..
Plz leave comment.Thanks.
