The Door Gasket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators, designed to ensure a tight seal around the door to maintain the internal temperature and efficiency of your appliance. This gasket prevents warm air from entering the refrigerator, which can lead to increased energy consumption and spoilage of food.
Causes of gasket deterioration can include normal wear and tear over time, frequent opening and closing of the refrigerator door, and exposure to kitchen grease and cleaners that can degrade the rubber material.
Symptoms of a bad Door Gasket include:
- Noticeable gaps or looseness around the door edge.
- Condensation or frost buildup near the seal area.
- Difficulty in maintaining the set refrigerator temperature.
- Increased energy bills due to the refrigerator working harder to maintain its temperature.
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
