Fridge sweating or losing cold? Check the door gasket

The seal around the fridge door holds cold air in and humid air out. A worn one lets cold escape every minute of the day, so the compressor runs longer, and moisture condenses on the shelves, the back wall and around the door edge. Other clues are mould or black marks in the folds of the gasket, a door that swings back open after you close it, and food spoiling faster than it should. Put a torch inside with the door shut in a dark room. Light leaking out shows where the gap is.

Fitting the fridge door seal

Switch the fridge off at the wall first. A new gasket may arrive folded, so rest it on a flat surface in a warm room, or warm it gently with a hair dryer, to ease out kinks. Fit the corners first, then work along each side so it sits evenly. If the door still won't seal, check the door alignment and hinges before blaming the gasket.
