• Keeps adjacent panels aligned and reduces visible gaps around the cabinet corner

• Disconnect power to the appliance before working near electrical components
• Remove any damaged trim and clean the mounting area before installing the new piece
• Trim may snap into place or secure with screws/adhesive depending on model—use appropriate fasteners

This coil cover seal is a molded gasket that fits around the evaporator/coil cover to help keep airflow directed and reduce moisture and frost buildup. It restores the cover's sealing surface for more consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator/coil cover to help maintain proper airflow through the coil
• Helps reduce frost or ice buildup by keeping moist air away from cold coil surfaces
• Can prevent water dripping or pooling inside the cabinet near the coil
• Restores a tighter seal after a cracked, torn, or compressed gasket reduces effectiveness

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• You may need to remove the evaporator/coil cover or access panel to reach the seal
• Clean the mating surfaces and dry thoroughly before installing the new seal
• Handle the gasket gently and press evenly to seat; avoid stretching or sharp tools that could damage the part

This replacement door seal creates a tight perimeter seal to help keep conditioned air inside and reduce moisture or frost buildup. Fits factory specifications to restore proper sealing and improve efficiency. What it does

• Forms an airtight barrier around the door to limit air exchange and energy loss
• Helps prevent frost, condensation, and water pooling inside or under the appliance
• Reduces strain on the compressor by maintaining correct internal temperature
• Common symptom fix for visible gaps, torn or flattened gasket, or excessive frost buildup

• Seal as shown

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before starting any service
• Clean the door frame thoroughly before installing to ensure a good seal
• Work the gasket into the channel evenly; avoid overstretching or twisting
