• Helps maintain consistent internal temperature and efficient operation
• Reduces frost buildup and cycling caused by a leaking seal
• Commonly shows symptoms like visible cracks, tears, flattening, or a door that won't close snugly

• One refrigerator door gasket

Install notes

• Inspect the door frame and strike surfaces; clean mounting channel before installing the new gasket
