Here's information about freezer door seal (gasket) problems and how to fix them:

How to Check for Seal Problems

Do a simple dollar bill test: insert a bill between the door and frame, close the door, and try to pull it out. If the bill slides out easily, the seal needs attention.

Common Signs of Problems

• Visible gaps or tears in the rubber gasket
• Poor door alignment with the frame
• Fluctuating freezer temperature

DIY Solutions

Here's what you can do yourself:

• Clean the gasket thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry completely
• Check for food debris or dirt in the seal
• Inspect the entire gasket for damage and wear

When Replacement is Needed

If cleaning doesn't solve the problem and the gasket is damaged, you'll need to order a new gasket specific to your freezer model and install it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Why It's Important

Proper door sealing is important because it:

• Maintains stable freezer temperature
• Helps prevent frost buildup
• Improves energy efficiency

⚠️ If these solutions don't resolve the issue, it's recommended to contact a qualified appliance technician
