Answer 1

I haven’t seen the real answer so I will tell you:

As other posters have right, when the door is closed again, the air contracts, creating a suction cup affect.

When you first initially open the door, there is less suction because the air inside the refrigerator is mixed with the already cold air in all the cubicals and storages so the effect is less.
