• Seals the fresh food door opening to prevent air leaks

• Symptoms can include condensation or moisture around the door, warm spots, frost near the door edge, or the door not closing fully

• Disconnect power; allow the door area and new gasket to warm to room temperature
• Soften the new gasket in warm water to relax bends before installation
• Remove the old gasket; seat the new one fully into the channel, starting at the corners—do not stretch
• Use gentle, low heat (hair dryer) to smooth waves; perform a "paper test" around the perimeter and adjust hinges if needed
