Fresh Food Door Gasket

Most of the time was spent smoothing out the new gaskets. It is important to do this. Any wrinkle in the gasket part that creates the seal will compromise the effectiveness of the seal. I found using a blow dryer was more effective than soaking it in hot water, which was the recommendation. There is more heat and more control. Just be car ...

Insert the new gasket working from top to bottom, Start at the inside corner. I used the blow dryer again to ensure is was as smooth as possible before closing the refrigerator door. Take your time. It is an easy project for a do-it-yourself home project.
