Cooler Door Gasket Installation Tips & Tricks

INSTALLATION TIPS & TRICKS

  • Clean the door before installing.
  • Soak the new gasket in hot water or run through the dish machine to soften gasket and remove any twists or kinks before installation.
  • Your new gasket may take several days to form a maximum seal. A new gasket has to form to the new door and door jamb.
  • If your new gasket is not sealing correctly after a week or two, use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat the gasket [do not heat to much or the material will melt]. The objective of heating is to make the gasket soft and pliable. Then you can stretch or manipulate the gasket to fill any areas that don’t seal.
