Mike for Model Number KBLA20EMSS00

I just replaced the bottom drawer gasket because I had frost buildup on one side of the inside of the freezer. After replacing, I notice have it on the other side. Could this be due to misalignment of the door itself? It seems to shut tight. I also noticed I need to replace the upper door gasket due to the bottom half of gasket separating. What do you think the problem of this continual frost buildup would be? Would coating the gasket (bottom freezer door gasket) with a petroleum jelly do any good? Thank you

Answer

Hello Mike, This could be from the unit being out of level, (all four feet not equally sharing the units' weight), the drawer not closing evenly, or the door seal simply not making good contact with the metal face of the cabinet. You can check the door seal with a dollar bill by closing the door on the bill and check to see if the bill is held in place by the magnet in the door seal or if it can be pulled out without opposition from the magnet.
