This replacement refrigerator door gasket seals the door to keep cold air inside, helping restore proper cooling and reduce frost, condensation, and energy loss from a damaged or worn seal. What it does:

• Creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to maintain internal temperature.
• Prevents warm air infiltration that can cause frost buildup and uneven cooling.
• Reduces condensation and helps improve compressor efficiency when sealing properly.
• Common symptoms of a failing gasket: visible cracks or gaps, cold air leaks, frost or moisture buildup, and higher energy use.

• Remove the old gasket and clean the door flange before installing the new seal.
• Press the gasket evenly into the door channel; some models use retaining clips or screws—model-specific instructions.
• Check that the gasket seats uniformly with the door closed and make minor adjustments as needed.

The Shipping Bolt is an OEM part for LG washing machines, designed to secure the washing machine's drum during transportation. These bolts are important for preventing damage to the drum and suspension system by immobilizing the drum, thereby avoiding any excessive movement or vibrations that could occur while moving the appliance. 

Causes of a bad shipping bolt can include improper removal during installation, damage from handling, or degradation over time if it was left in place during operation. A damaged or missing shipping bolt can lead to issues with the washing machine's drum alignment and overall stability.

Symptoms that indicate the shipping bolts need removal or installation include:

• Excessive noise or vibrations during operation, suggesting the bolts were not removed after installation.
• Damage to the washing machine's drum or suspension system after moving the appliance without the bolts properly installed.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.
