How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooler before replacing the gasket to avoid the compressor running with the door open for extended periods.

Steps to replace door gasket:

  • 1. Obtain correct gasket: Order the Insignia replacement door gasket specific to your model.
  • 2. Remove old gasket: Gently pull the gasket out of its retaining channel around the door. Some models use screws under the inner liner; remove these if present.
  • 3. Warm the new gasket: Soak the new gasket in warm water or use a hair dryer on low to make it more flexible.
  • 4. Install new gasket: Press the gasket lip into the channel starting at the corners and working along the sides. Ensure it is fully seated all around.
  • 5. Check seal: Close the door and inspect for gaps. Adjust by gently warming and reshaping the gasket as needed.

Note: It may take a day or two for the new gasket to fully conform and seal perfectly.
