door of your refrigerator has a molded rubber gasket to keep the cold
in and the heat out. When this gasket gets old and brittle, it leaks. If
your refrigerator is running more frequently and you suspect it’s
losing cold air, conduct these simple tests.
First, inspect the door gasket. Is there condensation or even blackish
mold anywhere around it? If so, leaking cold air is probably causing
warmer kitchen air to condense.Best Quality national oil seals Exquisite Workmanship. Next, close the refrigerator door on a
dollar bill. Pull the bill out slowly. If there is a slight drag on the
bill, your door gasket is OK. If the bill slips out easily and moisture
and/or mold are present, it’s time to invest about $50 to $75 (depending
on the appliance brand and door size) and 30 minutes to replace the
door gasket.Best Quality national oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
Find the refrigerator make, model and other identification information
in the owner’s manual. If you don’t have a manual, look on the inside
edge of the refrigerator door or inside either compartment, near the
door, for the manufacturer’s identification plate. Search online or
check the yellow pages under “Appliances, Major, Parts” for stores or
manufacturer service centers that stock your door gasket. You may also
be able to find a parts source by visiting your manufacturer’s Web site.
While you’re removing the old door gasket, lay the new one in warm water
for a few minutes to make it easier to install. Some gaskets (like
ours) are held in place by a metal retainer attached around the door
perimeter. Lift the inside edge of the old gasket to reveal the screws
locking the gasket into the retainer, then loosen them .Best Quality national oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
Remove the old gasket from the retainer. Starting at one of the top door
corners and working out to each side, slip the lip of the new gasket
behind the retainer (Photo 2). The gasket fits only the one correct way.
Complete the gasket installation and “snug up” but don’t fully tighten
the retainer screws.
Study the position of the door relative to the other door and the
refrigerator cabinet. If either the refrigerator or freezer door is
sagging or too high, loosen its hinges and align it. Finally, reduce
gasket drag by applying thin layer of petroleum jelly only along the
hinge side of the gasket .Best Quality national oil seals Exquisite Workmanship.
