Check that the door springs are OK. Check the door seal. Check the door latch. From your post it sounds like the latch is the most likely cause re: seal is not sealing at the top of the door.

If you click on a part's picture or description a new page will open with additional info on that part. Often there is a A&Q section that can be helpful.
