THANK YOU! My 15 year old son and I struggled to put the new seal on and your tip about using the tool saved the day!!

I don't care if you don't really need to take the door off... I just watched a 10 minute refrigerator repair video without skipping... and I dont even need to replace my gasket. This man is pure how-to video magic. The hair, the cadence, the the confidence oozing out his big brass nuts must be respected. Game recognize game, sir.

Thanks for this demonstration. My daughter and I started at and finished in 37 minutes after watching this video. It's easier with two people for sure I would be like most guys and be a little upset as you need another person if you have never done this before. I also fixed my broken icemaker after watching your video. Thanks as this saved me a lot of money for a repairman! Now I'm off to fix my rental property gasket.

Excellent video that covers everything you need to be aware of. I followed it exactly and got the new gasket on and working perfectly. However, for my unit I did have significant difficulty getting all four corners in place. There were plastic trim sections on the top and bottom of the door that got in the way and only one could be removed. Also I needed to stretch the gasket to get it around the corner edges which also needed to be pried up with a small screwdriver to get the gasket edge underneath. But I got it done! Thanks for the most excellent instruction to us DYIers.

There were some good tips in this video. Using a nut driver handle to push in the gasket worked well. This could be done with the door attached. My KitchenAid has a wide groove for the gasket to fit into, making it even easier.

Thank you for the clear and to the point instructions. You have saved me a mint in hiring a repairman.

I just did this with the gasket that does not have the metal lip, but one that came from a used unit. The ridge that embeds into the channel in the door requires that you have a plastic pry tool to lever the gasket under the door lip. I had one for other purposes, bought from Amazon, which is about half an inch wide with shallow steps along the pry side, and blue in color. It came in a multi-pack of pry shapes. This tool lets you more easily slip the ridge into the door channel. I did it with the door attached and it took about 45 minutes. It will require a lot of finger and forearm effort. The key with this type of gasket is to get a part of it near (but not on the corner) embedded first, because it’s impossible to force the corner in otherwise. The metal lip gasket is most likely designed for replacement purpose, as you won’t be fighting to squeeze the gasket in, but rather simply pushing straight without prying as the video shows.

Thanks so much for this video! I changed out the gasket on my freezer and everything was exactly as shown, and now it works perfectly. Instead of having to spend a grand + on a new fridge, it was less than a hundred dollars to get the new gasket to keep her going for another couple of years. The seal is perfect- even better than on the not-damaged fridge side! The whole operation took me and my kid half an hour.

THANK YOU! The tips about starting in the corners is a life safer. I've done a few of these now and never thought to do it that way. This is much easier!

Thank you! This is one of those things that you think you should know but; an expert showing how it's done is far more reassuring.

I did it with your easy to follow instructions. You are heaven sent!!!

Glad I found this video before removing my old gasket. New Gasket W10407212 for my Whirlpool french style refrigerator door is very similar to this one. If I would have just tried to pry off my old gasket as I saw in another video, it would have destroyed my inside door panel. All is well after watching this video and taking about 40 minutes to install.

Taking the door off - easy. Taking off the old liner - easy. Fitting the new gasket around the corners - an hour and a half of fits and starts, with lots of cussing along the way. By the time I finally got them fitted, two of the corner seams had split. These Whirlpool/Kenmore gaskets no longer ship with a rigid fitting to go under the lip - it's all soft gasket material and tears very easily. My suggestion - you can do all the work of taking things apart, but hire a pro to fit the new gasket. If it tears, it's on his dime.

Watched many many videos but this one got the job done! Thank you!!

Easy to follow tutorial. Probably took about half hour. Yes; I took the door off. When you’re older; it just makes more sense. Now I need to adjust my door height.

Worked great, good instructions! This was a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Door closes like a friggin' vault!

Thank you very much! Before I saw this video, I was with the impresion that it was needed to remove the entire inside panel to reemplace this kind of gasket.

truly my refrigerator door gasket needs a change, and I shall follow your steps . Thanks for explanation

So clear and to the point, love it. Main reason I'm buying it from you guys.

Incredibly helpful. The only difference I experienced that I felt may be helpful for someone else is that I lined up the corners precisely, but had to insert the black flap and inch or two down the line and come back towards the corner with the small round push rod to get them to go in. I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway... "I have made fire!" Thanks APP

I was wondering what I was going to have to end up doing with the gasket I got shipped to me. It is all creased and whatnot, and I was thinking I might have to send it back! Thanks for the tip on heating it up a little bit.

Thank you for this wonderful informed video. Hopefully this fixes our problem.

Removing a refrigerator door does make it easier, but it is certainly possible to remove and replace with the door on. When I replace the gaskets, I seldom if ever remove the door--it doubles my labor. Especially on higher end brands like Sub Zero, Lebherr, Monogram, etc.

Not all these type seals have the hard plastic lip and they are a real difficult thing to get back into the door liner. I did mine without removing the door and man that bottom section made me crazy!!. I’d certainly recommend taking the door off for sure with this type of seal. Used a hairdryer to soften the seal once it was on for a perfect seal.

A good explanation sounds like an excellent engineer.

Amazing job Ron! Great video with very clear instructions! You could be a teacher too.

Здорово! 👍Thank! Буду пробовать!😁 Надеюсь получится. Только у меня холодильник Stinol. Интересно, такой же алгоритм 🤔

Just saved me $275 by not having the repair man to come to my house. MY GUY!!!!!

To make your new gasket smooth after taking it out of delivey box, use a hair drayer. It does the job within minutes.

Thanks guys. This saved me a LOT of money.

Sweet!!! Thanks for the video!!! We got our gasket installed, the total time was 15 minutes!!!!

Çok teşekkür ediyorum çok güzel anlatıyor sun eline sağlık

It is very helpful, easy, uncomplicated, thanks for this video.

Thanks a lot,m this video gave me confidence, Respect from australia.

Great explanation and very helpful ! Thanks 👍👍👍👍

The refrigerator door gasket was made by our machine,I feel very happy!!

thanks a lot for the advice . the steps in the videos are easy to follow.

Excelente felicidades Vea cómo se quita todo el panel para cambiar la manguera que alimenta el dispensador de agua

I'm now ready to install and have the information to be successful. Good video.

Great job I so appreciate this bid I feel confident I can do this myself after watching you. Step by step was awsome

thank you so much for the learning me how to do it

I almost bought a new refrigirator for $1500, how stupid am I, thanks a lot bro, I will try that!

awesome thank you I saved several bucs with this video and your tips ....

there are a couple of edit issues 9:50 freezer door (chop) and one earlier. Thanks for the video!

Excellent patient video. You have helped me a lot. Now to order!

Great video. It sure makes it easy when people who have done this before take time to video your work and show it to the rest of us backyard mechanics. I'd hate to pay a person to do something only to find out it was a real easy job. BTW, I noticed in the last half of the video you chose not to use gloves. Why'd you use them in the beginning of the video? I hate wearing gloves in any type of repairs. Hard to use gloves and tools same time.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for that repair video it was very helpful 👍

شكرا عزيزى لقد استفدت كثيرا من هذا الشرح المفصل

Looks simple enough. I have a small upright freezer and it was only like 2 weeks ago that I defrosted it.... then last night I couldn't even get the door to shut because of the ice. The gasket is crimped bad and when I tried to look at it, came apart in my hand. That has to be it, right?? Hope so. I have ice chest full and need to get them back in the freezer, so I'm going to try and do this today. I'm an old lady, who never had kids- looking for a handy young man to adopt!

I just got a door gasket, but it doesn't have that hard edge you push under. I'm worried if I take the old gasket off, I won't be able to get this new gasket under that space it needs to go.

Thought, before replacing the new rubber seal would it be good or bad to add a small amount of some kind of grease/lube to help it go in..? Or would that just help it pop out later..? Thanks!

"Like"? That's all I can do is "like" this video? Where's the "Love it!" button? If there's anything my wife will tell you in not, it's handy. I watched this video and got the job done in probably less than an hour after collecting some appropriate tools. Granted, I didn't cut the power (oops), but I'm sensible enough to know when it's really necessary. Also, we needed the freezer to be working...dang thing is packed. By the way, a sharp metal cookie spatula works just fine in place of a putty knife if you don't have one handy. :)

Just replaced my fan because the original one was noisy. I may have pushed the fan on the motor too far because the shaft protrudes through the fan blades. Everything seems to work, but is this a problem?

I have a side by side and and I'm not planning to remove the narrower freezer door in order to replace the gasket. Am I looking for trouble by not removing the door?

Nice trick that of the tool for using it to push the gasket in place.

You DO NOT need to REMOVE the DOOR from the refrigerator OR the freezer to REPLACE the GASKET - this is WAY MORE WORK than necessary!!! Why do "Pros" always do things the HARD way!?

Just start at opposite corners and youll figure out the rest yourself. I used my thumbs to push it in. Done. Thx for the vid. Dont forget to like and subscribe!

This deminstration is in fact outdated. There is a fourth screw to remove to get the hinge cap off. Look from directly on top of the cap. It's small and difficult to see unless your looking directly down from above. if you don't and try to pry it off you will break the plastiic cover. Secondly the removal of the old gasket is easy. The new gasket install is a S.O.B.... and impossible if you've never done it before. My advice, call a service man and watch and learn for the next time it may happen. After a couple hours of frustation I taped the gasket on and will call the service people tomorrow. The video made it look so easy. The ten minute change is a pipe dream. Don't do it.

It took over an hr. to do, a lot of adjusting, he didn't show how to soak in hot water...after i finished, I was told by a tech that if I used a blow dryer on the new gasket, it would hav worked too, then instal it...

Remove the top half of the gasket with the door in place, Install the top half of the new gasket. Once in place remove the bottom half of the old gasket. Finish installing the bottom half of the new gasket. No need to remove the door.

Well done video! Thanks

great "How To" video!!!

excellent video .

Very very nice 👌 good video 👍

Thanks. This was super helpful.

I'd suggest checking the new door seal for size/fit before removing the door, very frustrating to remove the door only to find out you have the wrong door seal !

Excellant video. Is the repair very similar with most refrigerator brands?

excelente vídeo de como reparar el sello .

Great Movie. Thanks for sharing.

If the part attached to the fridge where the gasket touches is rusted, is there a hack to replace this or temporarily do something until I can afford another fridge? Is rusted only at the very bottom, causing a tiny air to enter

Hi I install the new gasket. The door dont close hard like before. The top is outside half inch in comparation with the other door. I put a petroleun Jelly around the gasket a left all night. What I can do wrong...?

Thanks. Easy to understand!!

This video is awesome,thank you....

Great video. Thank you for posting

Quite by accident I found this video and we have this exact fridge.. What are the odds? Anyways..It might just help to do a few things first.. Turn water (and power) off if turned on and also remove door handles if laying flat. It's just 4 little screws..

Why does a side by side Kenmore refrigerator cools only half way in the freezer?

Thanks. Good instructive video.

good honest job. thank you

Thanks. this was really helpful

I was able to follow the directions very easily. Left my power on though. Now door will Not seal( too easy to open)??? Help?

Why don't they make permanent gaskets on the refrigerator? Makes sense.

Thank you very much for your video. Nice, well explained steps. Do you know were I can get gasket for my frigidaire refrigerator?

Thanks I got an idea now.

thanks for this information

I need to find white gaskets for my Kenmore French door fridge. Do you know where I can find them.?

thanks so much for this video it was very informative.

I just took off the old gasket and replaced it with a new gasket in literally 5 minutes!!! There is NO need at all to remove the door!!! That would have wasted time & energy!

Very good video.

I'm going to try and repair mines tomorrow plz god

My old gasket leaking between gasket and door instead of between gasket and refrigerator. Still need gasket?

Merci beaucoup bravo bonne continuation
