Part 242193205 Freezer Door Gasket
Purpose
Creates an airtight magnetic seal for the freezer compartment.
Details
The 242193205 is a genuine OEM white magnetic freezer door gasket. Its primary function is to seal the gap between the freezer door and the refrigerator cabinet, preventing cold air from escaping and warm, moist air from entering. A properly functioning gasket is essential for maintaining consistent internal temperatures and preventing frost buildup on coils and food. Over time, the vinyl material can become brittle, torn, or lose its magnetic pull. Common symptoms of failure include visible "sweating" or condensation on the door, excessive frost accumulation in the freezer, and the refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain cooling levels.
Included Items
One white magnetic freezer door gasket; Required tools: Flathead screwdriver (for potential panel adjustment).
