• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

This refrigerator seal restores a tight barrier between internal components. Replacing a worn or damaged seal helps prevent air leaks and moisture intrusion, supporting proper airflow, stable temperatures, and reduced frost or condensation around the joint.

• Creates an air-tight barrier between mating surfaces
• Helps maintain correct airflow and temperature balance between compartments
• Reduces frost, condensation, and warm/cold spots near the sealed area
• Common signs of failure: visible gaps, loose/crumbled seal, rattling panel, moisture or frost at the joint

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove the related cover or housing to access the old seal
• Clean contact surfaces; install the new seal in the same orientation without stretching or pinching
• Reassemble and verify an even seal and normal airflow before returning to service
