Have you faced the problem of not closing the door in refrigerator Sub-Zero 650? It's a very common problem with all refrigerators. To fix it, you must only replace the door gasket. The door gasket attaches to the refrigerator or freezer door panel and prevents air from entering or escaping the cabinet when the door is shut. We have created a simple 4 steps guide, that helps you to replace the door gasket known as door seal in refrigerator Sub-Zero 650 and similar models.
- Removing creases in the new door gasket. To smooth creases and folds in the door gasket, soak it in warm water and dry with a towel. Or carefully warm it with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting. Be careful not to melt the gasket.
- Removing the refrigerator door gasket. First, turn off or unplug the refrigerator or shut off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator. Pull the gasket out of the track. Starting at one of the corners is usually easiest. You may need to tug the gasket firmly to get the removal process started. If you have a difficult time starting at a corner, pull the gasket out starting in a spot halfway down the side of the door. Once you get the removal process started, you should be able to pull the gasket out fairly easily.
- Cleaning the track in the refrigerator door. Using a wet cloth, wipe any spills from inside and around the track. Cleaning the track ensures that the new gasket fits easily in the track and seals the door properly.
- Installing the new gasket. Starting at the top of the door, work the new door gasket into the track. Work your way down both sides of the door and across the bottom. Check for loose spots and adjust the gasket as needed for a proper fit. Spread a thin coat of petroleum jelly along the sealing surface of the door gasket to help the new gasket seal properly. Close the door and check the fit. The door gasket should fit tightly against the cabinet and door with no gaps showing. Smooth out any creases that cause gaps. Push the door gasket further into the track to eliminate gaps. Turn the refrigerator back on or restore power to the refrigerator. Use the same procedure to replace the freezer door gasket.
Problem is solved. Now the door in the refrigerator must be closed properly. If you can't replace the door gasket by yourself and need help, don’t hesitate to contact our customer support and arrange a meeting!
