This door gasket runs around the perimeter of the door opening to create a dependable seal when closed. A proper seal helps limit air and moisture leaks, supporting stable internal conditions, reduced condensation, and efficient performance. What it does:

• Seals the door perimeter to block unwanted air and moisture infiltration
• Helps minimize condensation around the door and maintain consistent internal conditions
• Replaces gaskets that are torn, cracked, warped, or permanently compressed
• Can help when the door won't seal properly or you notice drafts, moisture, or temperature swings

• 1 door gasket

• Disconnect power if removing the door or working near electrical components
• Warm the gasket (soak in warm water or use low heat) to relax it before installation
• Press the gasket fully into the channel/retainer, ensuring corners are completely seated
• Check for uniform contact all around; adjust door alignment if needed and allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to conform
