Signs your fridge door seal needs replacing

A fridge door gasket is a flexible magnetic seal that grips the cabinet when the door closes, keeping cold air in and warm, moist air out. When it tears, flattens or loses its grip, the fridge works harder and longer to hold temperature. Common signs are condensation or water droplets inside, ice forming on the back wall, food spoiling sooner than it should, mould along the seal, a motor running almost constantly and a door that closes without a firm seal.

Fitting the fridge door gasket

Turn the fridge off at the wall and take out the door shelves to make the job easier. Check how the old gasket is held, as most are pushed into a channel or held by screws under the lip. Swap it a section at a time, working around the door. A new gasket often arrives creased from packing, so warm any kinks gently with a hair dryer and leave the door closed for a few hours to let it settle.

Questions about this part

How can I test my current fridge seal?

Close the door on a strip of paper at several points around the seal. If the paper slides out easily anywhere, the gasket isn't sealing there. Gaps, tears or a seal that has gone hard are all reasons to replace it.
