4055727905 Genuine Freezer Door Gasket for Electrolux Group Fridges and Freezers, Freezer Compartment Door Seal

Genuine Electrolux freezer gasket 4055727905 is the door seal for the freezer compartment of an Electrolux group fridge or freezer. A sound seal is what keeps frost out and the cold in. The part description also carries the reference BF80, which may help match it to your appliance. No model list is on file, so check 4055727905 against your parts list or old seal first.

Freezer icing up? A worn gasket is a common cause

Freezer gaskets work harder than fridge seals because the temperature difference across them is bigger. When a gasket splits, flattens or pulls away from the door, warm humid air gets in and freezes on the first cold surface it finds. That shows up as frost or ice around the door opening, heavy frost on food and shelves, or a freezer that struggles to stay cold and runs for long periods. Check the whole length of the seal for splits, flat spots and stiff corners.

Fitting a freezer gasket

Turn the appliance off at the wall and empty the freezer door. Most gaskets either press into a groove or sit under a retainer strip fixed with screws, so loosen rather than remove those screws where you can. Fit the new gasket at the corners first, then work along each side. If it's creased from packing, warm it gently so it relaxes and seals evenly.

Questions about this part

How do I know if the gasket is the problem?

In a dark room, put a torch inside the freezer, switched on, and close the door. Light showing around the edge points to a gap, tear or flat section. Frost forming right at the door opening is another strong sign.
