This flexible rubber gasket runs around the entire inner edge of the door and is what actually creates the airtight seal against the cabinet when the door closes — magnetic strips embedded inside the gasket pull it snug against the frame, keeping cold air inside and warm room air out. It's a simple-looking part with an outsized job: nearly every \"why is my fridge working overtime\" complaint traces back either to the gasket or to something the gasket is failing to seal against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack in color, measuring approximately 19-1\/4\" wide by 62\" tall. Over time, the gasket's rubber loses flexibility and can crack, tear, or develop permanent creases, and its embedded magnetic strip can weaken. Food debris or moisture trapped along the sealing edge accelerates this wear. A failing gasket lets cold air leak out continuously, which forces the compressor to run longer and more often just to hold temperature, and often shows up as visible frost or condensation forming right at the seal. It directly replaces AP3038628, 2171185, 2181893, 2196241, 2221313, 2309529, 443026, AH323906, EA323906, EAP323906, PS323906, and W10912133.

Once fully installed, close the door and run your hand around the full perimeter feeling for warm spots or drafts, and use a piece of paper as a simple test — close the door on it at several points around the seal and check that it takes light resistance to pull out. Address any folds or creases immediately, since a gasket that seals with a crease in it will not hold that seal over time.
