837517P Genuine Door Gasket Assembly 375 x 997mm for Fisher & Paykel Fridges and Freezers, Magnetic Fridge Door Seal

Part 837517P is a genuine Fisher & Paykel door gasket assembly measuring 375 x 997mm. It's the magnetic seal that closes the gap between door and cabinet, keeping cold air in and warm, moist air out. Fisher & Paykel makes many gaskets in similar sizes, so measure your old seal along both sides and check the fridge's model number and product code to confirm 837517P is the right one.

Fridge door not sealing? Signs the gasket needs replacing

A worn door gasket lets warm kitchen air leak in, which forces the fridge to run longer and harder. Typical signs include condensation or water droplets around the door edge, frost building up near the seal or on the freezer walls, food not staying as cold as it should, and a compressor that hardly ever stops. Look for splits, flattened sections, mould in the folds or gaps where the seal doesn't touch the cabinet. A sheet of paper closed in the door that slides out easily also points to a poor seal.

Fitting the new gasket

Turn the fridge off at the wall while you work. Unpack the gasket a day before and lay it flat somewhere warm so the creases relax. Note how the old seal is held, then remove it and clean the channel. Fit the new gasket starting at the corners and work along each side. If small gaps remain, a hair dryer on a low setting can help the seal reshape, but keep it moving.

Questions about this part

How do I measure my fridge door seal?

Measure the gasket on the door from outside edge to outside edge, across the width and then down the height. Compare those numbers with 375 x 997mm, and check the model number and product code, since seals of a similar size can still differ in profile.
