I opened one door then gave it just a push to see how well and easily
it closed. Repeated with the second door. Many of the refrigerators
had a "main door" that included a tall metal flap that retracted when
open, thus making an extra seal with both doors were closed. That was
usually the door that failed the door-closing "test," as it wouldn't
quite shut without a good shove. The Samsung popped back into place
with just a nudge. I also liked that both level of trays were
presented when you open the freezer drawer.
