Excessive frost or ice buildup around the freezer door or on food packages.

Safety first: No electrical work is required for gasket checks.

• Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the freezer door gasket. Clean with warm soapy water and dry.
• Paper test: Close the door on a strip of paper. If it pulls out easily, the gasket is not sealing in that area.
• Adjust door: Check that the refrigerator is level and doors are aligned. Adjust front leveling legs and hinge screws as needed.
• Replace gasket: If the gasket is damaged or will not seal even after adjustment, replace it with the correct GE gasket for your model.
• Limit door openings: Reduce the frequency and duration of door openings to minimize moisture entering the freezer.
