General Electric Dryer Gasket & Seal

The Gasket Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is a crucial sealing component that lines the perimeter of the dryer door. The gasket seal helps create an effective air barrier when the door is properly closed and secured.  

Causes of a bad gasket seal can include wear and tear resulting in cracks along the surface, deformities preventing flush contact with the door border, or material deterioration compromising its sealing abilities.

Symptoms of a bad gasket seal include:

• Excessively long drying cycles as air escapes around the compromised seal    
• Visible lint or debris collections where the gasket meets the door framing
• Noticeable drafts or air gaps discernible across the door perimeter

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This door gasket is the flexible rubber seal that mounts around the refrigerator door to maintain an airtight seal, helping preserve internal temperatures and reduce energy loss from leaks. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the refrigerator door and cabinet to keep cold air inside.
• Prevents moisture intrusion, reducing frost, condensation, and excessive compressor run time.
• Restores proper door contact when original gasket is cracked, torn, warped, or no longer seals.
• Common symptoms: visible gaps, light showing around closed door, frost buildup, or higher-than-normal interior temperatures.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Remove the old gasket and clean the door channel; inspect the mounting surface for damage.
• Press the new gasket into the channel starting at the corners, working around the door for an even fit; warm the gasket slightly (hair dryer on low) if needed to help seat it.
• Avoid sharp tools that can tear the gasket.

This genuine-style door gasket replaces a worn or damaged refrigerator door seal to restore a tight closure and help maintain proper cooling. It stops cold air loss and reduces frost build-up when sealing correctly. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps reduce frost and moisture buildup inside the compartment
• Can improve cooling consistency and reduce energy waste when effective
• Commonly replaced for visible cracks, tears, or a flattened seal that no longer closes snugly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any service
• Clean the door frame and mating surface before installing the new gasket
• Align the gasket evenly around the door and press into the channel until fully seated
• Check door alignment and hinges to ensure a proper long-term seal
