Symptoms of a bad Ice Chute Seal include:

• Frost or ice buildup around the ice chute area.
• Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its internal temperature.
• Moisture or water leakage around the dispenser, indicating air leaks.
• Difficulty dispensing ice, possibly due to frost or ice blockages.
