chest freezer
3 Answers
hi
just purchased a chest freezer and got it to working temp. but when i open the lid there doesnt seem to be any resistance. as you get with a fridge door etc. do you think the seal is not working as it should. or is it just because it is new. as this is my first chest freezer i dont really know. any input would be appreciated.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Bear in mind the orientation of normal freezers- the freezer is upright, so unless you had a seal wih resistance, the door would swing open.
However, with a chest freezer, it is lying parallel to the ground with the door opening upwards. Hence gravity keeps the door shut meaning ou dont need the same amount of resistance!
Voila!
