Fresh Food Door Gasket

Hi Bob, Thank you for your question. Sometimes it can take a week or so for your gasket to form correctly. Helping it along with a hair dryer might speed up the process for you. Usually it is just something that, as the door is closed, sorts out itself. If after a week or so you do not see any improvement to your gasket sealing along your door, contact our customer service. It could be that your gasket was defective. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Wayne, Thanks for your question. Unplug the fridge. Remove the hinge cover and the hinge. Lift the door off and remove the wiring harness for the dispenser. Remove the kickplate and disconnect the water line and pull it through the bottom hinge. Remove the door and put it on a flat surface. Put your new gasket out in the sun to get the creases or wrinkles out. You will want to measure the new gasket against the old one to ensure it's got the correct measurements. Peel back the old gasket, starting from the middle of a longer side. Use wire cutters to snip the gasket to the door liner. Carefully pull on it to remove it from the door liner, then cut it the rest of the way. Pull the gasket out from the sides and work around the door. Use a putty knife with tape about 3/4" of an inch up around it to run it through the outer/inner door gap to clean it out. Push the hard plastic part of the new gasket underneath the liner with a blunt object. Start with a corner and press the gasket all around the door. I hope this helps.
