This freezer door gasket seals the door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and humid air out. Replacing a worn gasket restores a proper seal, helping maintain temperature and reducing frost and condensation around the door.

• Creates a continuous perimeter seal between the freezer door and cabinet
• Helps stabilize freezer temperatures and limits warm-air leaks that can lead to frost/ice buildup
• Common failure signs: torn or hardened gasket, visible gaps, moisture or ice near the door
• Almond color to match compatible units

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Warm the new gasket in hot water or with low heat to relax folds, then start at the corners and work evenly around the door
• On screw-retained styles, loosen perimeter screws and tuck the gasket lip under the retainer; tighten evenly
• After installation, check seal with a dollar-bill test and allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to fully conform
