ADX72930461 Genuine Door Gasket Assembly for LG Refrigerators, LG Fridge Door Seal, Magnetic Gasket Replacement

The genuine LG part ADX72930461 is a door gasket assembly for an LG refrigerator. It's the flexible magnetic strip that grips the cabinet when the door shuts, keeping the cold inside. ADX72930461 is easily confused with ADX72930460, which is only one digit away, so take care to match the full number. We don't hold a list of models for it, so check your LG parts list or ask us with your model number.

How a worn LG door gasket affects your fridge

When the gasket stops sealing, humid kitchen air leaks in the whole time the door is shut. That moisture turns to frost on the freezer walls or droplets in the fridge, the compressor runs for longer, and power bills creep up. Tears at the hinge side, flattened corners and a gap you can see light through are the usual giveaways. Sometimes a seal that looks fine has simply lost its magnetic pull, so close the door on a strip of paper and feel for drag along each side before deciding.

Changing the door gasket

There's no wiring involved, though switching the fridge off while you work saves it running hard with the door open. Start at the top corner on the hinge side and work the new gasket into the groove with your thumbs. If it sits wavy, warm it gently with a hair dryer on low and leave the door closed overnight so it shapes itself to the cabinet.

Questions about this part

Should I replace the freezer seal at the same time?

Only if it shows the same wear. Seals of the same age often fail around the same time, so inspect both doors. Each door uses its own gasket number, so look up both in the LG parts list for your model.
