Lucile S Crofton , MD June 19, 2015 Gasket on freezer door split amana 22 years old! My son took the cover off the door and fit the gasket onto the door. Then replaced the cover and tightened the screws from corner to corner as he had pu the gasket into place. Then middle of each side, etc. until all screws were in place. He then tightened the screws. After installation, he noticed a few bubbles in the gasket both top and bottom. We follow the instructions that came with the gasket and used a hair dryer to smooth them out. Everything is fine. The video showing how to install the gasket was no help as it is for the newer models of refrigerators. I was not necessary to remove the door, which was good because both top and bottom doors would have had to be removed. We tood everthing out of the refrigerator and freezer before beginning the installation. We also turned off the freezer, which also turns off the refrigerator. Read More...
