Frigidaire/Electrolux Refrigerator Door Gasket (Magnetic Vinyl Seal)

Keep your food fresh and maximize your appliance’s energy efficiency with this Genuine OEM Refrigerator Door Gasket. This specialized vinyl seal lines the inner perimeter of your refrigerator door, embedding flexible magnetic strips inside its folding tracks to pull the door firmly closed against the steel cabinet frame.

When a door gasket becomes cracked, torn, brittle, or warped from age, it creates small, invisible gaps that let freezing air escape while pulling warm, humid kitchen air inside. If your refrigerator is constantly running, has condensation or sweat pooling along the door frame, or is developing heavy frost build-up in the freezer, a failing gasket is the most common culprit. Manufactured to precise specifications, this factory-certified replacement restores an airtight thermal barrier.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision-engineered for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse refrigerators.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves temperature fluctuations, sweating or condensation on the cabinet liner, frost or ice build-up, and doors that won’t stay securely shut.

• Material: Heavy-duty, high-flexibility vinyl equipped with continuous internal magnetic strips for a uniform, reliable seal.

• Difficulty: Novice to Intermediate. A highly accessible DIY repair requiring no advanced mechanical tools.

Pro Tip: New refrigerator gaskets are shipped folded tightly in a box, which can leave them with temporary creases or flat spots that won’t seal correctly right out of the package. Before installing, lay the gasket flat on a warm floor or countertop for a few hours. Use a handheld hair dryer on a low, gentle heat setting (or soak the gasket in a tub of warm water) to soften the vinyl. This relaxes the material, smooths out any shipping kinks, and ensures it expands perfectly to create a flawless seal the moment you mount it.

Installation Guidelines:

1. Soften the New Gasket: (See the Pro Tip above to prep the vinyl).

2. Remove the Old Seal: Most modern Frigidaire and Electrolux gaskets use a “dart-style” fit. Simply grab a corner of the old gasket and pull it firmly out of the retaining channel groove around the inner door liner.

3. Clean the Channel: Wipe down the exposed plastic groove with warm water and mild dish soap to remove any hidden grease or food particles that could prevent the new seal from seating flush.

4. Press into Place: Starting at the top corners, push the dart edge of the new gasket firmly into the groove, working your way down the sides and across the bottom until it sits perfectly flat.

Are you noticing visible tears or flattening on your current seal, or are you troubleshooting a specific condensation issue along the edge of your refrigerator door?
