241872503 Frigidaire Refrigerator/Freezer Door Gasket

<b>Refrigerator/Freezer Door Gasket, White:</B><br /><br />This component ensures a tight seal for the refrigerator door, preventing condensation and maintaining the internal temperature. It is compatible with several brands including Frigidaire, Electrolux, and certain Kenmore models, and is also used in products supplied to Sears-Kenmore.<br /><br />The Freezer Door Gasket is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically for Frigidaire freezers. It functions by sealing the space around the freezer door, blocking warm air from entering and keeping the cold air inside. This helps the freezer operate efficiently at its required temperature. The gasket is crafted from robust rubber that fits snugly against the freezer's frame when the door is shut.<br /><br />However, freezer door gaskets may deteriorate over time, becoming stiff or less elastic, which can lead to sealing issues.<br /><br /><b>Indications of a failing Freezer Door Gasket include:</b><br />1. Noticeable cracks or tears in the gasket<br />2. Condensation or ice accumulation near the door edges<br />3. The freezer operating more frequently or for extended durations<br />4. Challenges in maintaining the desired freezer temperature<br />- Higher energy costs as the freezer exerts more effort to stay cold<br /><br />This Frigidaire OEM part is also suitable for use with appliances from Gibson, Kelvinator, and some additional Kenmore models.
