Why is my cooler lid getting stuck every single time I try to open it?
It's an Igloo Yukon 70 qt that I got from Costco. First couple days I tried it, no problem. But yesterday, every time I'd try to open it, the lid would get stuck closed by a vacuum. I'd open the drain, and it would open right up.
But this kept happening. Damn near every time I latched it shut. Sure, is hotter then hell outside (95° with heat index around 110). But it was also hot the previous 2 days.
So, does anyone have any idea why it would happen so frequently? The cooler has had ice in it for a few days straight, and this is the first week I've used it. Previously brought my pelican 45 qt wheeled cooler without any issues.
What could cause an abnormal amount of vacuum pressure? Happening here or there is one thing. But it was damn near every time. It's so hot, I'm rarely going 45 minutes without someone opening it, usual more like every 15-30 minutes. Only positive is is been a great anti-theft feature. But if it keeps up without a solution, I may have to return this thing.
