This refrigerator door gasket seals the door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and moisture out. Replacing a worn or deformed gasket restores a reliable seal, steadier temperatures, and more efficient performance.

• Creates an air-tight seal around the door perimeter
• Helps maintain correct temperatures and reduce frost or condensation
• Supports proper door closing and overall cooling efficiency
• Replace if the gasket is torn, cracked, warped, hardened, or leaves gaps; if the door pops open; or if you see moisture/frost along the door edge

• Disconnect power; remove items from the door bins for access
• Pull the old gasket from the retainer; transfer/loosen corner screws if applicable
• Warm the new gasket (hot water or low-heat hair dryer) to relax it; seat the lip evenly, corners first
• Close the door and check for uniform contact; adjust with gentle heat and by leveling/hinge alignment if needed; allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to fully conform
