The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM part for Frigidaire freezers. It is designed to create a secure seal around the perimeter of the freezer door, preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering. This seal is crucial for maintaining the freezer's efficiency and effectiveness in preserving food at optimal temperatures. It measures approximately 17-1/4 inches in height and 26-1/2 inches in width.

Symptoms of a bad Freezer Door Gasket include:

• Visible gaps or tears in the gasket,
• Condensation or ice buildup around the door area,
• The freezer struggling to maintain the set temperature,
• Increased energy consumption as the freezer works harder to compensate for air leaks.

Causes of gasket failure typically include normal wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures that can cause the material to harden and lose elasticity, or accidental damage from cleaning or use.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
