The Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It ensures a tight seal around the door, preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering the refrigerator.
Over time, the door gasket may become worn or damaged due to frequent use, accidental tears, or exposure to extreme temperatures. A compromised gasket can lead to increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its internal temperature, spoiling of food due to improper cooling, and condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator or freezer.
Symptoms of a bad Door Gasket include:
- Noticeable gaps around the door
- Difficulty in closing the refrigerator door
- Condensation or frost buildup around the door
This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The frost & ice building up inside upright freezer. Jackie R. • De Leon , TX • January 13, 2023
Frost & ice were building up inside the top of our upright freezer, so I replaced the door gasket. First I'll make my long story short, then I'll tell the longer story for those who might be interested and might benefit from my experience.
Short version - The whole project took about three hours, but less than an hour of that would have been required if I were more of a handyman and if the freezer hadn't had prior work done on the door for the same frost buildup problem.
Long version - When...

Upright frost free freezer would not keep food frozen (Frigidaire name plate but made by (Electrolux) testing determined the refrigeration system worked but it would not defrost. Kenton K. • Chanhassen , MN • May 31, 2020
Fixed it by replacing the electronic control board. Only 30 min. to fix. (See further down for effort to diagnose the problem.) Most of this "fixing time" was spent removing the control panel to access the control board that is attached to it. My freezer has the control panel located in the top center of the door. The only way to remove the control panel is to pry the panel out of the door using a thin-bladed putty knife.The instructions provided were very good in explaining the process;...

Deep freezer was tripping gfci outlet every day Bryan K. • Aubrey , TX • November 29, 2014
I determined that it was a problem that occurred during the defrost cycle by resetting the GFCI outlet and forwarding the defrost timer until the defroster came on. Once the defrosting began, the GFCI outlet would reliably trip. I took apart the shielding inside of the freezer and tested the defrosting without the heating element or the thermostat connected. Since that looked good, I tested for proper functionality of the thermostat by removing it, placing it in a working freezer, and checking...
