Possible Causes

Damaged or dirty freezer door gasket, Door not closing fully due to misalignment or obstruction, Frequent door openings, Cracked inner door liner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Step 1: Inspect gasket

  • Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the freezer gasket.
  • Clean gasket with warm soapy water to improve seal.

Step 2: Check door closure

  • Ensure shelves or food packages are not preventing the door from closing.
  • Adjust door hinges if the door is sagging.

Step 3: Defrost freezer

  • Unplug the refrigerator and allow frost to melt; use towels to absorb water.
  • Do not use sharp tools to remove ice.

Step 4: Replace gasket if needed

  • If the gasket is damaged, install a new Frigidaire Gallery-compatible gasket, warming it slightly to help it seat properly.

When to call a technician: If the door liner is warped or cracked, door replacement may be required.
