First, best guess is you need a new door gasket. Before replacing it, try cleaning the gasket thoroughly with a good brush and spray cleaner with bleach (for any mold growth)
check shelving and stock in door not stopping door closing. Check hinges tight and complete (sometimes have a self limitting plastic stopper that breaks, allowing weight of door to pull itself open)
if you are having frost buil up on the model and it appears to be a freezer the seal may not be bad but you can not buy new magnets.the seal comes as one piece.you can do it your self.but try sealing the air flow vents in the bottom of the door with tape or silicone.the the diffuse plate in the back if it has slotted holes in it they can be covered with some aluminum tape.if you change the door seal the insultaion in the door panel should be change as well it more than likely has some ice build up in there
Check to see if the door gasket has forzen water that is preventing it from collapsing like it should and wedging the door open. This would most likely be on the hinge side of the door.
Also make sure the gasket is not bent or warped and binding as it closes.
Let us know if you find nothing wrong there and we can look further.
Thank You very much for your quick response to my request for advice. I have solved the problem by placeing 2 metal washers on the bottom hinge of the top freezer door. Now the door seems to close tightly, and the freezer is working fine. Thank you again. Housewife from southern New Jersey.
Things to check
Check .
for Frost build up and if Fan is blowing,
Check condenser...
To make sure clean, and the fan is blowing by compressor & IF it is running
Check Recirclating Vents in refrigerator... to make sure theres no blockage,
Could be the air pressure created from shutting the refer door is popping open the other one. There are are channels between the two so cool air from the freezer gets to the refer compartment. Try this as a test... s l o w l y close the refer door and see if that keeps the other door from popping open. If that works then it's likely an air channel is frozen up somewhere and you may need to turn the unit off for a day or so to let it thaw out. Moisture from leaking door seals, or doors that were left slightly open overnight can be sucked in and freeze up the air channels. I don't know if you are sort of slamming the door shut or not but the doors need to be shut slowly due to how air tight the new refers are.
Did you clean the surfaces thoroughly and glue it down with white or clear silicone, then leave it to cure? also was it an OEM replacement or an Amazon special as the quality is different.
It is called short cycling. Help below
If your refrigerator is short cycling, it can be caused by a number of issues including: An incorrectly set thermostat inside your refrigerator. Dirt and dust on the coils that prevents efficient operation. Faulty capacitors or relays that prevent the compressor from staying on.

The E6 error code on a Frigidaire wine fridge, specifically the model FGWC5233TS, indicates a fault with the upper temperature sensor. When this error code is displayed, it means that the temperature sensor located in the upper portion of the wine fridge is not functioning properly or is experiencing a malfunction.
To troubleshoot and resolve the E6 error code, you can try the following steps:
Unplug the wine fridge from the power source for a few minutes and then plug it back in. This may reset the error code and resolve any temporary issues.
Ensure that the wine fridge is properly leveled. Uneven positioning can affect the performance of the temperature sensor. Adjust the feet or placement of the unit to ensure it is level.
Check for any obstructions or blockages around the upper temperature sensor. Make sure there are no items blocking the sensor or disrupting its operation.
If the error persists, it is recommended to contact Frigidaire customer support or a qualified appliance technician for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on the model and help diagnose and repair the issue with the upper temperature sensor.
Depends on model. Generic advice in the link and videos. You can effect a power reset by pulling that wall plug for 30 minutes.

Question edited for clarity.
It sounds like the compressor is struggling / overheating / failing. When was the last time your stripped the back out and removed all the fluff and debris? It overworks the compressor and gets red hot when the condenser coils get blocked. The struggling compressor causes the humming. Turn it off, keep the doors closed and vacuum it all out. Clean underneath and you might as well clean the floor and walls around it as the plan is to leave it disconnected for 1 to 2 hours to cool down and settle the refrigerant gas/liquid. Some other ideas below.
The evaporator fan motor circulates air over the coils to help keep things cool inside your fridge. If this motor starts to go bad, it will make a buzzing sound as it struggles to circulate air. You'll need to replace the evaporator fan motor to fix this problem.
