The hair dryer tip saved my butt!! Thank you
You're very welcome!
was it a replacement gasket or your existing one?
@@appliancepartspros how long we will close the fridge after the insertion of gaskit

Great video. I feel the petroleum jelly is too much. Using the hair dryer(I use a heat gun, low setting) it allows the gasket to take form and connect to the fridge allowing the magnets to fully connect to the fridge and create a seal. After this process, do not open the door for 2 hours allowing the gasket to cool and keep form. Haven't had recalls on that type of job. Be careful not to apply too much heat to one area. The goal is to SLOWLY heat up the entire gasket side where there is no seal where the magnets close down to create a proper seal. Use a flashlight to see where there is no seal and slowly heat all around that gasket. Patience is key. You will then see the gasket start to seal as the magnets inside the gasket start touching the metal liner to create that seal that is needed. Cheers!
We do recommend using a hair dryer/heat gun if you can. Then again, we don't want the gasket to melt.
the gaskets on your website cost a fortune. The total of the freezer and fridge gaskets is a 1/3 of the price of the new refrigerator. Are you sleeping good at night? No nightmares?

Nice I'll try it!
Great great info, thank you so much this was very helpful!
After putting gasket in hot water and drying it off, I think some water was retained in the gasket that freezes and hardens the gasket. I’ve tried pulling it off and letting it thaw and drain, but some water is still in it. Any suggestions?
شكرآ لك
thanks, very helpful video.
Glad the video helped you get the refrigerator fixed!
My seal is loose and baggy at the bottom of the fridge door will putting heat on it help or do I need to replace it
We have a whirlpool gold top freezer. The ice maker quit working so we took it out and after about a month
small bubbles about the size of a quarter started appearing on the freezer walls??? What could cause this.
Please help / thank you
Thank you for this video. After I install the gasket and it's settling in, is it crucial that the fridge be on to get a better fit? (My property is currently vacant, so it's unplugged.) Does it make a difference?
It doesn't make a difference.
Does the freezer need to be defrosted for this?
Petroleum jelly should not be used on rubber, it will react with rubber and destroy it after couple of years, if grease needs to be applied on rubber the only grease that is accepted is the silicone-based one, in this particular case since it would be in such close proximity to food the best silicone based grease would be the one used in plumbing because it is harmless if ingested by mistake.
Oil-based lubricants can be harmful to certain types of rubber, but definitely not all types of rubber. Regardless, as per the instructions, the petroleum jelly is to be wiped off after a week. It's been used without incident by refrigerator repair services for years. There's sufficient evidence to determine that it's not in the least bit harmful to the type of rubber used in these gaskets.
And regarding the close proximity to food, petroleum jelly (like vaseline) is regularly used as a lip balm. It is not in any way harmful to be in such close proximity to food (by contrast, I would never put a plumber's silicone on my lips).
So if i dont put the gasket in a tub of hot water,can i just use that blow dryer,allso do the petroleum jelly keeps the gasket flexible and lubricated.
+mark simms The hot water will take out the bigger creases. The blow dryer is used for taking out smaller imperfections and may damage the gasket if overheated. The petroleum jelly helps the gasket seal during the setting period, that is why he says to clean the gasket in 5-7 days. Petroleum jelly also has been used to treat and condition gaskets for many years!
PLEASE TELL ME HOW I DO MR FRIDGE RABER SOFT BECAUSE THE DOOR NOT STICK VERY PROPER.
What if my refrigerator is in use? do I have to unplug it and let it dry out completely ? am I able to just unplug refrigerator and install new gasket right away.? please help thank you @appliancepartspros
Usually the door gasket can be changed pretty quickly, so you could just unplug it and change it. If you have anything sensitive on the freezer door you could put it in an ice chest or in the freezer and hang a shipping blanket or something over the opening to keep the cold in. It would take a long time to dry it out completely and you would be adding all the time that it takes to get back down to temp!
what are the symptoms for air getting inside the freezer? my freezer's door is leaking a drop of water per hour on the outside, from within the door. could air getting into the freezer be the problem?
If the gasket needs replacing, it will let warm air into the freezer. First, you can try checking around your freezer door with your hand. If you feel cold air, it can be a sign that your gasket is leaking air. OAnother simple test to determine this is the dollar bill test. Close your refrigerator door on a dollar bill, with half of it sticking out. Tug on the dollar bill, and you should feel some resistance. It shouldn't be easy to remove or slide up and down. Repeat this test all the way around the gasket.
Nice
What does the Vaseline do?
Do you have a video to replace a bottom freezer gasket (either of the following parts: WR14X10266 OR WR14X10348)?
We do not have one for that specific part but hopefully this one helped you out!

Sir, why was the petroleum jelly is applied around the gasket?
It helps soften the gasket and prevent drag.
I tried to follow all ur instructions but my gasket still have gap and did not close properly even I di the hair dryer part already

my freezer door pushes open just a touch when the fridge door is closed. would the gasket be the problem?
First, make sure that your freezer isn't overstuffed. Even if it looks like everything is in there good, if something is sticking out just a little too far, it can cause that. Otherwise, that does sound like a gasket that needs replacing.
I checked but we don't have any petroleum jelly, will K-Y work?
Yes, but you need to apply it with a hotdog.
@@im1who84u run your pecker around the gasket and make sure there are no leaks!
LOL...I'm sorry but I had to laugh...this guy's voice reminds me of Mr. Tudball (Tim Conway) on the Carol Burnett show. Kept waiting for Mrs
Wiggins to show up!
We love Simon's Russian accent! :)
AppliancePartsPros I agree....not making fun of him...just brought back memories of Mr. Tudball. I'm sure he's a great guy!
Oh for sure! The Carol Burnett show was a great show!

petroleum jelly eats rubber
safe to use on gaskets?
+CheekyMonkey888 They have been using it on refrigerator gaskets for years!
AppliancePartsPros thanks
@@appliancepartspros For what purpose? It's not mentioned at all in the video. 'Why' do you apply Vaseline to the gasket?
Difficult opening of freezer door
Its a mister tudball, , where is mrs. Wiggens? from the carol burnette show circa 1970.? You must go look it up here on youtube ill look for the link and post it here..oh my god he sounds exactly like him.dutch i think.
🤣
Hello, why the rubber was heated, what is the heating temperature?
The gasket is heated so that the rubber will be more pliable and better form to the door. Sometimes, the gaskets get bent during production and/or shipping, and this helps get those kinks out. I would put the hair dryer on its warmest setting, but be careful not to melt the rubber.

Thank you!
