Common Symptoms
- Visible gaps, tears, cracks, mildew, kinks, or deformation in the gasket
- Frost or moisture buildup around the refrigerator door
- Temperature fluctuation or reduced cooling caused by air leakage
- Door does not close or open normally because the gasket is twisted, dirty, or obstructed
- Door switch may fail to make proper contact when the door does not seal correctly
Check Before Replacing
- Visually inspect the entire gasket for tears, cracks, mildew, loose sections, twists, or shipping-related kinks.
- Check that the gasket-contact surface is clean and free of food particles or sticky residue.
- Close the door slowly and inspect for visible gaps or sections where the gasket does not contact the cabinet.
- Confirm that shelves, bins, food packages, or covers are not blocking the door from closing.
- Check that the refrigerator is level according to the appliance owner's manual before attributing a sealing problem to the gasket.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the gasket, clean the sealing surfaces and check for door obstructions, leveling issues, or a twisted gasket; a poor seal is not always caused by a failed gasket.
