5304507199 Freezer Door Gasket Part for Frigidaire (Electrolux) Refrigerator Door Seal Replacement 5304507208, 216522362, 216522313, 216522312

I was just about to spend $$$ on buying another freezer until research (YouTube University) lead me here to a gasket door replacement. Save me hundreds and freezer is cooling nicely again!

Perfect

It served its purpose, but was a big pain to make it work. Not so much the changing of gasket but to get gasket to lay down and seat against the mating surface. I laid gasket out for few days to let it relax in shape. Put it on, and gasket would not mate up to surface of door opening. Carefully used heat gun to relax the bellows of gasket. Worked it all the way around. Seemed to lay down. Came back next day, it pulled away. Redid with the heat gun again in spots that had a gap. Had to repeat about 4 more times over the next few days. But finally seems to be working and sealing now.... if you don't have patience, better hire it done. And not have anything in frig worth loosing.

This gasket does not fit my Kenmore Upright freezer....it's the right size for the door, but has a 1/2 inch gap between the door and the freezer itself. Tried everything to get it to seal, nothing doin'. Waste of money. I will be ordering from Kenmore now.

It arrived in a box and was all waded up, as expected. I laid seal flat on a carpeted floor in a hot attic (Texas) for 7 weeks. I gave it plenty of time to relax and it appeared great. After removing the original seal, I immediately noticed that the new aftermarket seal is about 1/4” thinner. I went ahead and installed it and I could slide a credit card along 50% of the edges with absolutely no resistance. If you let go of the credit card, it just falls to the floor. I ended up removing the new gasket and putting the old one back on. At this point my return option had lapsed. So I blew $40.

I tried every trick in the book to get this to seal. Compared to OEM it was flimsy and creased terribly from being in the box. Stick with OEM.
