Part #5304507200
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.

Upright freezer appears to be running for a very long time - never find it not running(?) The control panel appears to function OK. Can be turned off and back on following the instructions. Tried at +5C. Analogue thermostat shows around -15C which is colour coded as OK. Capable to test electrical but unsure which parts..?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello David, thank you for your question. This unit is designed to perform in temperatures ranging from 0°F to 110°F. A gasket PS11770644 with cracks or leaks will lead to frost buildup on the evaporator, which causes the compressor to run continually. Also, you can test the Defrost Thermostat PS2350702. We hope this helps.

Are freezer door keeps saying 36 duration and it's frosted on the inside what do we need to do to fix this?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Wendy, thank you for your question. The first part we would recommend checking is the door gasket. If the door is not sealing well or has rips in it it could be causing air to get into the unit. If the gasket is fine, the defrost thermostat and defrost heater should be tested. I hope this helps.

Getting high temperature alarm. Acknowledge with alarm reset but hi temp is still lit up.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello William, thank you for asking. We would suggest making sure the door closes properly and the compressor is working. If this is not the case, then the problem seems to be with the thermistor and you may need to replace it to fix the issue. The part number is PS977306. We hope this solves your problem!

I accidently threw away both freezer keys to our upright Gibson and G.E. Freezers!!!! I had no luck finding replacements locally, so I got on the internet and came across PartSelect.com. I called them on the telephone; and after giving the model numbers of my freezers, the keys were on their way!! I received the keys very quickly and bot h worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Partselect.com. Charlotte M. Bishop

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 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.

Rails for basket drawer were broken.

The repair was as easy as removing three phillip head screws for each slide rail and removing and replacing the broken slide rail. However, over the years, the walls of the freezer had bowed making the drawer a bit short to ride on the new rails -- causing the drawer to fall off the slide rails since the span between each rail was now wi der than the basket. To remedy this problem. I used washers and placed them on the back side of each rail where the screws are located . This was the perfect solution compensating for the extra width resulting from the slightly bowed walls in the freezer. This solution allowed the basket to fit on each slide rail without falling off .
