Title: Dometic refrigerator freezer door gasket
Post by: WaveRIder on July 25, 2006, 03:17:50 PM
There must be a place where I can get a gasket for the freezer door for
less than 48.00!!!!!
Anybody have a suggestion?

I used white silicone to create a gasket on the freezer door.  First mask off the edges with masking tape, then run a bead of silicone around the perimeter where the gasket would seal the opening.  If you level off the wet silicone to about 1/8", it leaves a pretty good result.  Hope this helps you.  Sometimes the cures are really simple! 8)

Added thought.  Be sure and remove the tape before the silicone dries.  Actually, you can remove it almost as soon as you spread the silicone. 8)
Title: freezer door gasket -- spring closure
Post by: WaveRIder on August 05, 2006, 03:47:12 PM
Thanks for the imput! :D Finally got door in place and found one of the hinge/springs was broken causing door to not close properly.  Have ordered spring/hinge  from Canada.  Hopefully all will be good as new when installed.

Update:  (Thanks for your imput about "reefer guy"...)
Installed hinge/spring on freezer door.  Like NEW!! Keeps colder than
house unit.
