Changing The Fridge Seal: Instructions For Most Appliances

Instructions for replacing the refrigerator seal

First, get a gasket that fits your fridge.

• If you are unsure which seal you need, write down the brand and device designation of your refrigerator and seek advice from a specialist retailer.
• Most seals are just clamped. Some are additionally fastened with small screws or clamps.
• If necessary, now loosen the screws or clamps.
• Pull off the old rubber completely.
• Then clean the edges of the refrigerator door thoroughly.
• Warm water with washing-up liquid is sufficient for this.
• If the fridge seal you bought is too long, wait until you have reinserted the rubber before cutting it short.
• Start in a corner and press the seal back into the gap provided.
• Depending on the device, now fasten the screws or clamps.
• Now you can cut off the excess rubber with a cutter knife.
• Make sure there is no gap so that the door closes really tight.
• Finally, press the two ends together.
