This refrigerator door gasket creates an airtight seal around the door to help maintain proper temperatures and energy efficiency. It replaces a worn, torn, or deformed seal to reduce cold air loss and cycling. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door to prevent cold air leakage and reduce frost buildup
• Helps maintain consistent internal temperatures for food safety
• Reduces compressor run time and saves energy when sealing properly
• Addresses common symptoms like warm spots near the door, visible gaps, or a torn/cracked seal

• One replacement door gasket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Clean and dry the door flange thoroughly before installing the new gasket
• Warm and flex the gasket as needed (hands or warm water) to ease installation and ensure full contact around the door
• After installation, close the door and check for gaps; allow 24 hours for the gasket to fully seat
