Customer Questions and Answers for Gasket Shield (Lower) by Ge

Lower gasket shield protects and supports the bottom edge of the refrigerator/freezer door gasket for a tighter seal, reducing air leaks and moisture build-up while keeping the gasket aligned for reliable sealing. What it does:

• Protects and secures the lower edge of the door gasket to maintain proper gasket positioning and contact.
• Helps prevent cold air loss, frost buildup, and condensation caused by a misaligned or damaged lower gasket area.
• Provides a mounting surface that keeps the gasket from folding or pulling away at the bottom of the door.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken lower shield pieces that can cause visible gaps or sealing issues.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs and follow manufacturer service instructions.
• Remove the door gasket or lower trim per OEM steps to access the shield; keep fasteners and note orientation for reassembly.
• Do not force plastic parts; if removal is tight, work slowly to avoid cracking the cabinet or new shield.
