Re: Frig & Freezer Door Seals Reply #2 – January 19, 2018, 11:22:38 am tedeboy, One of the simplest ways to determine if you have a leaky gasket is to look for evidence of sweating around the refrigerator section, or a frost build up around the freezer where the gaskets mate to the cabinet. If so, maybe time to replace. If not, keep the gasket clean, dress it with vaseline once a year or so to help keep it supple.

Re: Frig & Freezer Door Seals Reply #4 – January 19, 2018, 12:00:10 pm I’m not certain that this will help with the LD fridge door but here goes. Several months ago my fridge door in the sticks & bricks would not seal tightly. Seal was sound, lubed and clean but the fridge still would not create enough vacuum to keep the door closed tightly. It was so poorly sealed that occasionally the door would be found open.I thought back to a thread on LDO about carrying too many heavy objects on the LD fridges door shelves. So with that I removed all the stuff in the house fridge door shelves and tried to get a better seal with the door unladdened. Not much help. Then I saw it! The fridge door was no longer parallel with the side by sides freezer door. I quickly removed the fridge door and fashioned a thin 1/16” shim for the fridges lower door hinge. This lifted the door back to parallel with the freezer door.This solved the problem completely. It brought the door seal back into a better position to seal along the door jam edge. It’s been working perfectly ever since. So with that, perhaps this solution can help with your LD fridge seal problem. I no longer carry heavy objects in the shelves of my LD fridge as a result.Who knew?Kent 2 Likes
Re: Frig & Freezer Door Seals Reply #5 – January 19, 2018, 12:05:53 pm Be prepare for a job, if the seals need replacing..The seals cannot be remove as a whole piece. The old seals are cut off flush, using a razor blade or Ex-acto knife.The new seals are glued into place, rather than pinched between the two pieces of the door, as done at the Factory.Once Factory assembled, the doors do not come apart.Chris has already provided a vendor for the seals. The other choice is to replace both doors, an expensive choice.The doors need to be removed and placed on a flat surfaceThe Lazy Daze Companion: Replacing Refrigerator SealsLarry
Re: Frig & Freezer Door Seals Reply #6 – January 20, 2018, 10:13:55 am Chris, I could not locate any seals on RV Supplies, RV Accessories, RV Parts, Camper Parts, 5th Wheel Hitch. Crummy search function.Larry you wrote: "The other choice is to replace both doors, inexpensive choice."Did you really mean to say that the doors are less that seals? I paid $117 for seals at an ebay vendor. Seemed high, but I can't believe doors would be less. Please confirm.
Re: Frig & Freezer Door Seals Reply #7 – January 20, 2018, 10:32:03 am Dyer's search apparently doesn't recognize 'seals', but 'gaskets' brought up this link:Dometic NDR1292 Refrigerator Door Gasket Kit - Refrigerator Parts - Refrigera...I don't know which refrigerators this kit fits, but (IMO) over $200 for rubber strips and glue is a ripoff!
