How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before replacing the gasket to avoid the compressor starting while the door is open for an extended period.
- Order correct gasket: Obtain the exact replacement door gasket for your Blomberg model.
- Remove old gasket: Gently pull the old gasket out of its retaining channel around the door. Some models use screws under the inner liner; remove as needed.
- Install new gasket: Starting at the corners, press the new gasket into the channel, ensuring it seats fully all around. Reinstall any screws.
- Shape and seal: Close the door and check for gaps. Use a hair dryer to warm and soften the gasket, then press it against the cabinet to improve the seal.
