Sure there's not something sticking out?

I think you can buy a new seal - the rubber bit

Are you sure its not just something sticking out a bit and popping the door open?
Or in need of a clean?!

Nothing obstructing doorway, has been cleaned etc... a few days ago it would stick for a while then open, now it doesnt stick at all just bounces off.
Will have to look for the rubber seal, although doubt i could fix it myself so would have to pay someone which prob work out more expensive than buying a new fridge!

or take door off and put it back on?

Sounds like the seal has burst - if you examine it closely you will probably find a tiny hole or cut in it somewhere.

You can replace seals - \link{http://www.espares.co.uk/searchwizard.aspx?c=1084\this site} might be of help.

We had the problem with our freezer. It was one of those that hinged either way, so we swapped it over and its fine now.
I think replacing the seal is too expensive, but see if you can swap which side the door opens.....
