This free how-to video explains how refrigerator/freezer door gaskets work. The video also offers tips and tricks to aid you in the installation of your door gasket.
All refrigerator and freezer doors have a gasket or seal that is attached. This seal is designed prevent the cold air from escaping the refrigerator. If your refrigerator/freezer door seal is broken or worn at all, cold air may be escaping, causing the refrigerator/freezer to run longer in order to keep the air inside cold. Check the door seal regularly and replacing when necessary is important to cut down on energy costs.
If your door gasket or seal needs cleaning, a universal cleaner like Goo Gone Concentrated Spray Cleaner can be effective: www.repairclini...

I fixed my garbage disposal and the problem with my refrigerator door (which have been nagging me for months) in about twenty minutes. And that includes the amount of time it took me to read the repair blogs. You guys are amazing!

Well, that was MUCH easier than I anticipated. Thanks!

The freezer door on our fridge was reinstalled improperly by the guys who delivered it. Whoever decided to put 2 sets of screw holes on the top bracket wasn't doing us a favor. The seal leaks a bit on the top corner. I did the hair dryer thing twice and got most of the leaks out. It helps to put a flashlight in the freezer! I might try to put a little bit of Mortite on the coerner on the outside to put pressure on the corner. I'll give it another week before I try that.

Heating up the gasket will make it stretch a little but you normally will not have that large a gap all the way around just a few wavy spots. If you had the wrong part # it would most likely not fit at all. You can try heating it up and stretching it out and hopefully the door magnets will pull enough to make it seal. if you give us your model and part number that you installed we can verify that if you got the right part or not.

Good morning and Happy thanksgiving to u and Ur love ones. I got a Kenmore hr14808041. Do u happen to have the correct door gasket?

@photondebuger45 2 года назад

Petroleum jelly won't eat at the gasket, will it? Would silicone paste work better?

@joaquinben4458 3 года назад

Model number is LMXS27626S is LG it is cold and freezes good no ice on the bottom. Only sweaty doors.

@akelley3 5 лет назад

After soaking it in water to get the wrinkles out, a small amount of water was left inside, froze, and hardened the gasket. I’ve tried thawing it out and letting it drain, but it’s such a small amount of water that it doesn’t drip out. Any suggestions?

Hi....who would I go to in order to purchase a replacement gasket for the freezer side of a side by side refrigerator freezer?....thank you in advance

@repairclinic 11 лет назад

I would recommend using the repair help section of our website (link in the description). If you enter your model number there you'll have access to part, model and symptom specific repair help.

freezer and fridge door gaskets for Whirlpool ED5FVEXSS00?

@rustyme1122 11 лет назад

I soaked the gasket in the bathtub filled with very hot water. That made it very pliable and when I got it on the door was able to get it sealed. It seems OK now. I was hoping a new door gasket would help eliminate some of the ice build up within the freezer. It did not. The new gasket makes no difference. What would be the next most logical thing to check? Thanks again.

@jenniferpepler5843 3 года назад

Hello rustyme1122, I know this was posted 8 years ago but hoped you could help me with the same issue. What did you have to do to stop the ice build up? Thanks!!!

@rustyme1122 3 года назад

@@jenniferpepler5843 I never did get the icing fixed in my GE refrigerator. Sorry to say I had to bite the bullet and replace it. I've since bought an LG and have been very happy with it.

@jenniferpepler5843 3 года назад

@@rustyme1122 Thank you so very much for taking the time to reply rustyme1122!! I really appreciate it! Too bad you had to get a new one! We have become such a wasteful society! Both our freezers likely only need the gaskets replaced, but no, we have to purchase brand new freezers! So ridiculous! Anyway, thank you again, it was very kind of you to reply!!

@rustyme1122 11 лет назад

The gasket appears to be correct. Fridge model GSH25JFTABB, gasket number GEWR24X10301. Thanks!

Hi Repair clinic, I have a Kenmore upright freezer model no. 253.20402000 that we bought second hand. Someone installed a door gasket on it before we bought it, but the door does not seal properly. We simply cannot get a portion of the door gasket in the very near top corner to seal with the body of the freezer. We've used a hair dryer across the contextual area to no avail and thought about using petroleum to get it to seal. We thought that we would ask you first.

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

+Marisa Tolsma Sometimes it take several days for the magnet inside the seal to set up and fit to the door frame properly.

@marisatolsma6191 9 лет назад

+RepairClinic.com Thank you so much for the reply. This seal has been on there for at least a month, but that area of the seal hasn't improved at all. What do you recommend? Thank you!

I cant find any gasket here is the model FFPE45L2QM

@seanb6078 10 лет назад

Also make sure you get the right color of gasket!

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

Sean B Yes, that is important. If you search on our website by model number, it should come up with the right color.

That is the correct gasket. Try heating it up and stretching it out. If that doesn't work send it back.

@timellmontgomery4201 10 лет назад

Soaked the gasket in hot water and did not have a problem getting the gasket in place. However I am now having a problem getting the door to seal the bottom of the door comes in contact first and the top half will not close.

@repairclinic 10 лет назад

You will have to loosen the screws and readjust the door to where you want it to be. You can close the door after you loosen the screws and move it to where it needs to go. After the door is in the proper position you then can retighten the screws to keep it there.

Why do these guy always find a gasket that is easy to fix. If they were all that easy we wouldn't be looking 1🤔

I.. i have a question..i recently changed the gasket on my whirlpool 30 inch french door (right) and noticed that there was a huge gap when the gasket was removed.. now the gasket is in place but won't stay in .. i noticed when i removed it there was some sealant or glue holding it at it place.. i tried silicone but it wont stick to the stanless of the door.. any idea what i can use to glue it? Thanks in advance.. Here a link showing you that gap..you can see where it was glued.. ibb.co/hjmMPf

Hi RepairClinic, I have a GE refrigerator(side-by-side) model PSG95NGMHCBB and after a house power loss found that the freezer temp is not going down more than -5 degree anymore.fridge temp. as well .The cooling fluid has been changed with no help. What could be the cause of this malfunction? Thank you. Adrian

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

flybywire62 The condenser coils may need to be cleaned. Typically, between 0 and -10 degrees Fahrenheit in the freezer and that is considered normal operation.

@flybywire62 9 лет назад

Sorry my mistake, I was reffering to -05 degree Celsius, but today I have fround -2 only. Maybe a crack on the cooling circuit into the wall between the freezer and the fridge ?? Thank you for help and support. Adrian.

@flybywire62 9 лет назад

Any recomandation for an online GE fridge parts ? In Europe is hard to find one. Thanks again.

@repairclinic 9 лет назад

flybywire62 Check out the video for how a refrigerator works. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5vA8Ksv5kVY.html If there is a refrigeration system problem like a leak then the unit will likely need professional service. We don't operate in Europe so we would recommend the manufacturer.

@flybywire62 9 лет назад

Hi, Thanks for all your usefull information. The GE specialist has identify the faulty part as the evaporator fan P/N WR60X10154. Can you recomand an online shop where the GE refrigerators part can be ordered? Many thanks !

Right out of the box my new freezer door gasket seems too thin, like it is collapsed. I installed it but will not seal the door at all. There is about a 3/16 to 1/4 inch gap all the way around. Will warming it up with a hair dryer expand it?
