This door gasket, also known as a door seal, is sourced from the original equipment manufacturer for use in refrigerators and freezers. It is a flexible rubber strip that runs along the edge of the appliance door. It creates an airtight seal between the door and cabinet to prevent cold air from escaping, and warm air from entering the refrigerator, to ensure that the temperature in the appliance remains constant. Over time, the door gasket can lose its elasticity or tear. In this case, you will likely notice frost build-up, increased noise, and inconsistent temperatures. Peel the faulty gasket off the refrigerator frame and remove any debris or residue on the surface. Carefully place the new seal along the edge of the door and press it firmly into place. Secure it with the appropriate fasteners and close the door to verify that there are no gaps between the door and cabinet.

Faulty packaging for Door Gasket
The first freezer door gasket was never received, even though Fed-Ex said it was delivered. When the replacement part was delivered the packaging was partially open. The driver stated that a white piece similar to my gasket was on the floor next to his truck last week but was not loaded due to no packaging. I believe the current shipping box for this item comes apart too easily, causing the part to be lost before delivery. Hopefully this can be resolved before the company loses too much product and more consumers have to contend with unnecessary delays.

frost and ice build up/ gasket wasnt sealing properly
I did watch a repair a utube video which I asked for when ordering. Pretty much followed most of the directions but:

proceeded down left side then right little by l

bottom corners were a little snug to get them into place. the last corner was snug but once connected. tighten screws not too tight. You dont want to strip them.
test door with piece of paper.
if paper is not a snug tug, you can adjust gasket with a hair dryer set to low.
it was easy. freezer is all set.
Partselect was great to deal with, support verified the part number was correct for my freezer and help with that video.

Loosened the screws all around the door. easier if you take the door off the unit and lay it on a table. Cover the table with a blanket to protect the door finish. Old gasket just pulls loose.

Original gasket was not sealing properly. Appears to be original faulty installation
After receiving the part in the mail I removed it from the box and laid it flay on the floor. I had to use a hair dryer to CAREFULLY work it flat from the shipping. This took about an hour and a glass of scotch. I then let it sit over night to get the gasket as flat as possible. The next day I unloaded the freezer, unplugged it, and pulle
... Read mored the old gasket off by removing all the screws. I carefully slide the seal out of the track and did not remove the cover from the door. I left the door open for a couple hours to completely melt all of the ice and clean out the interior. I put the top and bottom of the seal in the track and carefully worked the sides in. It helps if you use a few screws to hold the gasket in place. Then easily pull the gasket to position it correctly. Using a screw gun with a clutch will help since there are quite a few screws. Check the seal by closing the door and see how it seals. It may be necessary to use the hair dryer to get the seal to pull up to the freezer body. Close the door and plug it it. Wait a few hours before putting in any food. Take your time and having a helper will make it go quicker.

Ice and frost were forming in a frost free freezer
The old gasket was obviously gapping, partially from age and partially from damage during a move. To make the repair, I loosened the screws that are under the gasket and hold it in, but did not remove them. Once all were loose, I removed the old gasket, then starting at the top, ran a thin bead of food grade RTV under the portion of the
... Read more door that captures the gasket. I put the sealant on that edge only, then carefully worked one of the short edges of the gasket under the plastic and tightened all but the corner screws. I then ran the RTV down the inside of the hinge side of the door and repeated the process, this time tightening the top screw and the hinge side screw at the top, but leaving the bottom most screw loose. I repeated the process on the opening side of the door. The bottom was the hardest because the gasket seemed just a little long and it was hard to get the RTV up and behind the door portion, but after a couple tried I got a good bead of sealant then slid the gasket under the door capture and tightened all the remaining screws. After closing the door, it was obvious that there were places were it did not seal well. I used some cardboard strips, cut from the box the gasket came in, to place inside the freezer, between the hard plastic of the door and the inside of the gasket where it laps over the screws. This helped a lot, but there were still a couple small areas, so I used more cardboard, from the outside, between the main portion of the gasket and the rim of the gasket. This eliminated all the gaps. I let this sit overnight and this morning removed all the cardboard for a great sealing freezer.

How hard is it to replace a gasket on this freezer? Can my husband do it himself?
For model number LFFU1765DW12
Hi Diana,
Thank you for the question. In order to install the gasket you just need to loosened the screws that are under the lip of the gasket that hold it in place. Once they are lose you can pull the old gasket off and see where you can slip the new gasket in place. Previous customers said it was easy today but time consuming.
Hope this helps!

I have a sagging seal around the bottom of the door of my refrigerator. There is a clear non-smelly oily liquid that drips from the bottom of door. The seal is hanging at the bottom which is why I am going to purchase a replacement but the oil drip is baffling. Is there an oil channel in the door seal? It is strange. It is definitely not coming from the motor area. The drip pattern follows the opening pattern of the door. Can you help?
For model number CALR17LW0
Hello Vicki,
Thanks for your question. That oily liquid may be water from a leaking drip pan at the bottom of your fridge. If the drip pan has developed mold or grease, it can leak blackened water out. We recommend cleaning out the drip pain or replacing it if it is cracked or damaged, or cleaning out the defrost drain system.
I hope this helps.
One person said the part was a bit too long and was placing cardboard pieces in the gasket to seal it...... this should fit perfectly. why?
For model number PS11770644
Hi Dawn,
Thank you for your question. If the gasket was too long, it is possible that the part the previous customer received was mispacked at the factory, mispicked at the warehouse or the wrong part was ordered. To guarantee the correct gasket for your refrigerator, always use your model number to find the parts. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I am having slight frost and ice build up on the top of the door gasket from the hinge to the opening side of the door and slightly down it. The seal looks good and I do not see any gaps in the seal. Does that mean that the magnetic seal is not tight enough?
For model number FFU17FC4CW2
Hello Riley, Thank you for the question. Normally this indicates the gasket is not sealed properly and it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps!
