This gasket is used to seal the freezer door when closed to keep the cool air inside and the warm temperature surrounding the freezer from getting in. It is white in color. If you notice that your freezer is not shutting with ease, is not maintaining your desired temperature, or there is frost build up, it could be due to the door gasket being damaged. You might also notice that there is a leak coming from the door and this could also be caused by the gasket being worn, damaged, or no longer aligned properly. You will need to remove the existing screws before installing the gasket.

Does this seal have a magnet in it??
For model number F82U20F3W0
Hi Jenny,
Thank you for your inquiry. Most gaskets have a magnetic strip so that the gasket can magnet to the appliance when the door is closed, however this is not how the gasket will install. This particular gasket is sandwiched between the door panels. You don't have to take the door apart, just unscrew the panels enough so that you can push the gasket into place. Good luck with your repair.

My freezer sweats really bad on front of door causing water to leak onto floor. Is that from a faulty gasket?

Door ajar alarm is continually going off and there is no suction when the door is shut. It used to forcibly pull and suction the door to the freezer body. Making it really hard to open the door. That is now gone. Gasket looks good and appears to seal all the way around. Freezer temps are good. There is sweating on the outside of the freezer but freezer is located outside. We have replaced the light switch and computer module. Would replacing the gasket fix this door ajar issue? Or is there some other part that helps with the suction and seal?
For model number LFFH21F7HWG
Hello Ruth, thank you for your question. If the computer module part number 297366300 has been replaced and the alarm is still sounding I would recommend replacing the gasket. The new gasket may create a better seal and may disable the alarm when the door is sealed well. I hope this helps!

Can a lack of suction seal cause the door ajar alarm signal?
For model number LFFH21F7HWG
Hi Ruth,
Thank you for your question. Generally that will be caused that noise to happen is because your door switch is not realizing that the door is closed. If your gasket is not sealing correctly against the cabinet and activating the switch, that could be the reason why it is beeping. If your gasket is sealing against your cabinet then it may be your door switch that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Gasket old and leaking
This freezer has many screws that hold the cover on the back of the door and assist clamping the edge of the gasket in place. Be sure to just loosen the screws 3/4 the way out, use a flat head screw driver to pry the cover from the door in case over time it is stuck to the door. The new gasket will come in a creative box trying not to kink the gasket itself, but there will be some distortion of the gasket when you get it. Put it in the sun or in hot water. I put it in my dryer for 10 minutes. Remove the old gasket, and start at the top of the door to replace the gasket. TIPS: If the screws are backed out enough, there should not be any problem sliding the back part of the gasket under the cover. When on the sides, do not pull the gasket down to make it easier to slide the gasket underneath the cover. This will distort and lengthen the gasket so it will not fit and thin it out so it will not function well. Once the gasket is in place, tighten the screws being sure to feel along the outside edge of the gasket for any bulging that would indicate that portion of the gasket is NOT under the cover properly.

Frost inside freezer.. Old door gasket leaking.
Pretty straight forward. Loosen all screws "but do not remove" pry door panel from door just enough to slip gasket behind panel. Make sure gasket is seated properly around door.. Tighten all screws snug...
Gasket may not seal right away due to being kinked from packaging, use a little heat on gasket witth hairdryer and push something heavy against door over night. The gasket will straighten out over night.

Freezer is 17 yrs old so needed a new gasket. The results were poor since the new gasket would not allow the door to seal.
Removed the numerous screws and took the door panel off. Cleaned and dried it. Replaced the insulation and hung the penal with 2 screws at the top and sides. Started to fit the gasket under the edge of the panel and put on the screws as I went across the top then down the sides finishing across the bottom. Perfect fit but could not get the door to seal at all. Went out and bought a new freezer(did I say it was 17 yrs old?!?!).

The temperature displayed on the control panel was erratic
The replacement of the Thermistor is a snap. Take out the bottom two shelves, remove the 8 screws in the back panel, pull it out. Cut the wires to the old thermistor and install the new one. There are demo's on you tube so I wont go into detail.
Unfortunately the replacement door seal was packaged with twists in it and would not lay flat on the door. I found the old seal was not the problem - but instead ice had grown between the door and the door panel so that the door would not seal properly. I reinstalled the old door seal and everything is fine now.

Hard to install; did not finally fit; failed.
This gasket for a Frigidaire freezer was the right width and height for my model number (double-checked) but the depth was much shallower than the OEM gasket and there was no seal anywhere, plus I couldn't shut the door.
I ended up reinstalling the original gasket and used a jury-rigged stick arrangement to keep the door shut while I now order a new (and different) brand of freezer. A 7- year life is not long enough for a low-duty freezer.
This gasket was a waste of $117 and 2.5 hours of my time.

Viewed Once - Used Their Help - Freezer Fixed!!
I do not write reviews as I think most are fake and not that this will sway you. I do hope this helps someone if they are on the fence about ordering what you need to complete your task.
Had a repairman not be able to find the part previously, and I got tired of big freezer and not using it. So I searched for a fix since the repairman was a bust. I’m a doer, but I’ve never had to do a repair like this before so I was hesitant.
It was my first time ever visit the partselect website. Matched the freezer per their part matching feature. Wow! It was in stock too.
Ordered the part with some hesitation because I’ve never done this before. It arrived and fit and the rest is history, or you wouldn’t be reading this review.

Ordered part for 18 year old freezer. Of course part number was changed by now. So I ordered the number it gave me. Part came but was not the correct size. Had to reorder the part. Number was close to the one sent the first time. This part fit perfectly.

Installation was fairly straight forward
The part arrived in the worst packing I have seen so far. It did not appear to be damaged but it was falling out of the package. After following the instructions, installation went pretty smooth

Not the best
We received the part and followed the directions. There was some distortion on the seal as it said there may be but not sure it is actually sealing as we needed. I have pictures you can see where the seal is deformed. Hoping over time it relaxes but not so sure.
