Refrigerator door gaskets may be one of the most misunderstood of the refrigerator. Ask a lay person or do-it-yourself, because his refrigerator is not working properly, or heating and the first thing he said after "I do not work on compressors," can ", but we will check the door seals ". The door seals rarely go wrong or have a problem for the entire duration of the refrigerator. The only door that I saw seals are going bad when dogs or cats sharpen their claws, or chew on them, or kids who loveto climb or hang on the refrigerator door. One problem really bad seal may be more likely to present itself as a problem defrost or ice buildup on the inside of the freezer. This is due to moist air, in a refrigerator.
Door seals are magnetically attracted to the door frame so that the doors are kept closed. Unless the seal is shredded, or you can physically see a gap between the seal and the door frame when the door is closed, there is no reason to suspect, a seal door.
To replace theRefrigerator door gasket, you must use a socket wrench of the correct size. A cordless drill-driver is the best choice. A magnetic head're not crazy trying to keep the driver, the screw and the seal at the same time, and help prevent the job done faster. There are a lot of screws, the seal be prepared as obvious. Remove the screws no more than two pages at a time. One page at a time is better. The idea is to prevent the plastic inner door to drift around. IfYou need to be realigned, it can be time consuming and frustrating. The new gasket will fit the same way as the old one came out.
They are much more likely to have an alignment problem or deformation leads. There is not much you care with a badly warped door refrigerator, if not to try to distort, or transform it back into shape can do it or replace it.
With the door closed, measure the distance around it, up and down, right and left. Check that the door edges and the edges are parallel to the refrigerator. If 'Measurements show that the door is badly out of alignment, re-adjust the hinges of the door slightly and move around. It may take a few tries to do it properly aligned.
Remove anything that might obstruct the door seals. Sometimes the sill plate or tray is getting in your way. If it's metal, you may be able to bend slightly to solve the problem.
