Refrigerator or freezer door not sealing properly, warm air entering, frost buildup around door.

Safety first: Keep the unit plugged in but avoid prolonged door openings to maintain temperature.

Steps:

• 1. Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or hardened sections of the door gasket. Close the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak in that area.
• 2. Clean gasket and frame: Use warm soapy water to clean the gasket and the mating surface on the cabinet. Dry thoroughly.
• 3. Warm and reshape: Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm warped sections of the gasket and pull them into shape so they contact the frame.
• 4. Adjust door hinges: If the door is sagging, adjust the top hinge screws to raise or level the door so the gasket contacts evenly.
• 5. Replace gasket: If the gasket is torn or will not seal, order and install a new OEM door gasket for your Kenmore model.
