This freezer door gasket creates the seal between the freezer door and cabinet to help retain cold air and reduce frost buildup. Replacing a worn or damaged gasket restores a proper seal and helps maintain consistent freezer performance. What it does:

• Forms an airtight seal around the freezer door to help keep cold air in and reduce ice buildup.
• Addresses common symptoms such as visible gaps or cracks in the seal, excessive frost/ice, or a door that doesn't close flush.
• Matches the OEM sealing profile to restore correct fit and function.
• Helps the freezer maintain stable temperatures when the door seal is intact.

• Disconnect power and remove food/ice from the freezer before beginning work.
• Clean the gasket channel/mating surface and remove the old gasket completely before installing the new one.
• Installation methods vary by model (press-in, retainer clips, or adhesive); for exact instructions.
• After installation, inspect door alignment and test closing to ensure a uniform seal.

This defrost timer assembly cycles the refrigerator between cooling and defrost modes to prevent excess frost buildup and help maintain consistent temperatures. Replace a failed timer to restore regular defrost scheduling and reduce icing. What it does:
