- Seals the perimeter of the fresh food (refrigerator) door to limit air leaks
- Helps maintain proper interior temperature and efficiency
- Typical symptoms of failure: door not closing or sealing fully; visible tears, gaps, or warping
- May cause moisture, sweating, or frost near the door gasket area
What's included: One white fresh food door gasket.
- Disconnect power before servicing
- Warm and relax the new gasket (soak in warm water or use low heat) to ease installation; do not overheat
- Clean the door's gasket channel; install starting at the corners and ensure even seating all around
- Close the door and check for uniform contact; use a paper-slip test to confirm the seal

Gasget on refrigerator door needed replacing Ginger H. • North Plainfiels , NJ • September 07, 2015
Appliance repair company quoted $400.00 to replace door seal. Found model number, ordered part. Very pleased when part arrived next day. Using internet found instructions on how to fix.
Soaking part for about a hour in hot water made seal pliable and easily went back together.
Hint for a refrigerator that has a top freezer, empty door before removing.
Very glad I did this, husband surprised it turned out perfect. Question now is how do I get him to fork over the three hundred I saved him?
