Excessive frost or ice build-up around the door opening and on stored items

Possible Causes

Torn or deformed door gasket, Dirty gasket sealing surface, Misaligned door hinges, Cabinet or door warped

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is stable and will not tip when adjusting the door.

Steps:

  • Inspect the entire perimeter of the door gasket for tears, gaps, or hardened sections.
  • Close the door on a thin strip of paper at various points; if the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak there.
  • Clean the gasket and mating surface with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
  • Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm and reshape deformed gasket areas, pressing them against the cabinet to improve seal.
  • If the gasket is cracked or cannot be reshaped, replace it with an Ocean-compatible door gasket.
  • Check and adjust door hinges if the door is sagging and not aligning properly.
