• Helps protect the thermostat from dust, lint, and moisture
• Can reduce intermittent heating or cooling caused by air loss around the thermostat
• Fits at the rear thermostat location to ensure the sensor reads accurate cabinet temperatures

• One rear thermostat seal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before replacing the seal to avoid shock or injury
• Replacement typically requires access to the thermostat at the rear panel—follow appliance-specific disassembly steps
• Inspect the thermostat and surrounding area for damage or contamination while replacing the seal
• Use proper hand tools and avoid over-stretching the gasket during installation
