This refrigerator door gasket seals the fresh food compartment door to restore an airtight closure. A proper seal helps keep cold air in, limit moisture intrusion, and support stable temperatures and efficiency.
- Creates a tight seal between the fresh food door and cabinet
- Helps maintain interior temperature and reduce energy loss
- Limits condensation and frost near the door opening
- Worn, torn, or misshapen gaskets may cause warm spots, sweating, or doors that won't close fully
What's included: 1 fresh food door gasket. Install notes:
- Unplug the refrigerator before servicing.
- Pull the inner lip from the door retainer to remove; some models require loosening liner screws hidden under the gasket edge.
- Warm the new gasket (warm water or gentle heat) to relax folds, then press the lip fully into the channel.
- Close the door and check for uniform contact; adjust hinges or re-tighten liner screws as needed.
