How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work is required; unplugging is optional but recommended while working around the door.
Steps:
- Inspect entire gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or areas that do not contact the cabinet.
- Order replacement: Purchase a Frigidaire door gasket specific to your wine cooler model.
- Remove old gasket: Gently pull the gasket from the door channel or remove screws/retainers as applicable.
- Install new gasket: Press the new gasket into the channel, ensuring it is fully seated at corners. If screw-on, reinstall retainer strips evenly.
- Warm and form: Close the door and use a hair dryer on low to soften and help the gasket conform to the cabinet.
