The Door Gasket is an essential OEM component for Frigidaire top-freezer refrigerators. It establishes an insulating air seal around the perimeter of the refrigerator and freezer doors.

Causes of failure include breakdown of sealing materials from prolonged compression during repeated closure stresses. Damage like cracks or tears diminish gasket capabilities over time.

Symptoms of a faulty door gasket include: 

• Cool air leakage resulting in warmer interior temperatures
• Frost or condensation buildup visible around door frames
• Physical deterioration like tearing or perishing gasket materials

This OEM Frigidaire replacement gasket is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models. 

The Freezer Door Key is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This small but essential component is designed to securely lock the freezer door, preventing accidental openings or unauthorized access.

Symptoms of bad refrigerator door gasket clips include:

• The door gasket not staying securely in place
• Visible damage or wear on the clips
• Cold air escaping from around the door
• Increased energy consumption due to poor sealing

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
