Is This the Right Part?
Part Number12131000016673
ManufacturerMidea
Appliance TypeRefrigerator
Part TypeDoor gasket assembly of refrigerator; Gasket (Grey)
Common Symptoms
- Warm air entering around the refrigerator door
- Condensation or moisture near the door perimeter
- Frost buildup caused by air leakage
- Refrigerator running longer or maintaining temperature less efficiently
- Visible gasket wear, deformation, cracking, or gaps
Check Before Replacing
- Visually inspect the entire gray gasket for tears, cracks, deformation, looseness, or gaps.
- Check that no food packages, shelves, or debris obstruct the gasket from contacting the cabinet.
- Clean the gasket and mating cabinet surface with warm water, then retest the seal.
- Place a dollar bill or sheet of paper between the gasket and cabinet at several points, close the door, and check for noticeable resistance when pulling it out.
- Confirm that the door closes completely and that the refrigerator is reasonably level before attributing the issue to the gasket.
Pro Tip
Test the seal at multiple locations around the door rather than only at the visibly damaged area; an easy-to-remove dollar bill or paper section can indicate insufficient gasket contact, but door leveling, hinges, or obstructions can produce similar results.

Installation Notes
- Use the appliance-specific service documentation when available and verify the refrigerator model before installation.
- With the door open, remove the old gasket gradually from its door-liner recess rather than pulling forcefully at one point.
- For installation, seat the gasket corners first, then press the edges into the door-liner recesses as described in Midea gasket service documentation.
- After installation, check that the gasket is fully seated, not loose, skewed, or deformed, and that the door closes and seals evenly.
- Do not assume a poor seal proves the gasket is defective; inspect for debris, door obstruction, leveling, or hinge issues as well.
