218730606 Frigidaire Refrigerator Fresh Food Door Gasket

Refrigerator Fresh Food Door Gasket, Almond Color.
This component ensures the refrigerator door remains securely shut, maintaining the cool air inside and keeping the external air out. It is compatible with several brands, including Frigidaire, Electrolux, and also serves Sears-Kenmore appliances. Recognized as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part, this door gasket is essential for the fresh food compartment of your refrigerator. The almond-colored gasket measures about 29-1/2 inches in width and 44 inches in length. It fits on the inner door panel and forms a tight seal that blocks warm air from entering, thereby safeguarding the refrigerator against overheating and condensation on the door.

For optimal performance, you can relax the gasket by either soaking it in warm water or gently heating it with a hairdryer set to low. Frequent or prolonged operation of the refrigerator might suggest a need for gasket replacement. Additionally, this gasket is equipped with a magnet which aids in reinforcing the seal against the cabinet, though it does not contribute to keeping the door closed.

This part is generally required when you notice issues such as condensation forming on the door.
