How to install your seal

Before you start

Make sure you have the following items ready:

  • Your new fridge seal
  • Clean cloth
  • Mild detergent (optional)
  • Screwdriver (if necessary)

Step-by-step installation guide

1

Remove the old seal

Carefully pull the old seal away from the door. If it's held in place by screws, remove them first. Be careful not to damage the door or holder.

2

Clean the door surface

Use a clean cloth to wipe the area where the seal will be installed. If there's any dirt or grime, use a mild detergent to clean it.

3

Prepare the new seal

If the new seal is stiff or has creases, you can soften it by placing it in warm water for a few minutes or using a hair dryer on low heat.

4

Install the new seal

Start at one corner and work your way around the door, pressing the seal into the holder. Make sure it sits evenly and there are no gaps.

5

Secure the seal

If your seal uses screws, reattach them. Close the door and check for any gaps or areas that don't seal correctly.

6

Test the seal

Close the door and try to slide a piece of paper between the seal and the fridge. If it slides out easily, the seal may not be correctly installed.

Installation tips

  • Take your time during installation to ensure a proper fit
  • Don't force the seal into place – it should fit snugly but not be stretched
  • Check all corners and edges to ensure there are no gaps
  • If you have problems, check the fridge manual for specific instructions
  • Let the seal set for 24 hours before testing it fully

Troubleshooting

The seal doesn't fit

Check your measurements again and make sure you ordered the correct size. If it's still too tight, you can try warming it up to make it more flexible.

Gaps in the seal

Check that the seal is correctly seated in the holders. You may need to adjust it or use a small amount of adhesive to secure it.

The door doesn't close correctly

Make sure the seal isn't caught in the door hinge or another part of the fridge. Adjust the seal as needed.
