MDS64172919 LG Gray Refrigerator/Freezer Door Gasket

<b>Gray Refrigerator/Freezer Door Gasket:</B><br /><br />This component ensures a secure seal on your freezer door when shut, crucial for maintaining optimal freezing temperatures. It is a genuine OEM part designed for use with LG side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators, as well as some models from Sears-Kenmore. The gasket plays a vital role by creating an insulating barrier that prevents warm air from penetrating the freezer compartment.<br /><br />Over time, the integrity of the freezer door gasket may be compromised due to wear such as cracks, deterioration, or compression from frequent use. Additionally, food particles accumulating along the gasket's edge can impair its ability to seal effectively.<br /><br /><b>Indications of a malfunctioning freezer gasket include:</B><br /><br />1. The freezer door struggling to close or seal correctly.<br />2. Warm air entering the freezer compartment.<br />3. Increased occurrence of frost and ice buildup.<br />4. Elevated energy consumption due to the freezer operating more than necessary.<br /><br />This replacement freezer door gasket by LG is designed to replace the original part seamlessly, ensuring a reliable insulating seal. It is also suitable for certain Kenmore refrigerator models.
