Refrigerator Door Gasket Parts for Commercial Equipment
The refrigerator door gasket is a flexible seal made from rubber or silicone, fitted around the edge of the appliance doors. These door gaskets are commonly found on various types of equipment, including refrigerators, ovens, steamers, and ice machines.
The primary function of a refrigerator door gasket is to maintain an airtight seal when the appliance door is closed. This helps regulate internal temperatures, reduces energy usage, and prevents external air or moisture from entering. Components include the magnetic strip embedded inside the gasket and the flexible outer lining. Common signs that indicate the need for a refrigerator door gasket replacement include loose-fitting, visible cracks, or condensation around the door edges. Frequent cleaning and maintenance make these gaskets last longer and function at their best.

FAQs
Why is the gasket on my refrigerator door leaking air?
If the rubber seal around your fridge door is cracked, damaged, or dirty, it can’t form a tight seal. This reduces the efficiency of your refrigerator by letting warm air in and cold air out.
How can I determine whether the gasket on my refrigerator door needs to be replaced?
Keep an eye out for any tears, splits, or places where the gasket seems crooked or loose. Closing the door on a piece of paper is another way to test it; if the paper slides out easily, the gasket may be deteriorating.
What happens if I ignore a broken refrigerator door gasket?
Your refrigerator will have to work harder to stay cold if you ignore a damaged gasket, which will increase your energy costs. Temperature changes can also cause food to spoil more quickly.
Can a damaged door gasket cause frost buildup inside my fridge?
Yes. When the seal isn’t airtight, moisture from outside air can enter and freeze inside, leading to unwanted frost or ice patches.
Which method works best for cleaning the gasket on a refrigerator door?
The gasket can be carefully cleaned with a delicate cloth soaked in warm water and mild soap. Steer clear of scrubbing equipment and aggressive chemicals that could harm the rubber.
How long does a refrigerator door gasket usually last?
Typically, door gaskets remain effective for 5 to 10 years. They can last longer with gentle handling and routine cleaning.
