The rubber seal on my freezer door (it's an AEG Arctis model
2674-6GS) has failed. This of course means that frost builds up
rapidly so I have to fix it. Is it an easyish DIY job? I've done a
web search for new seals but I cannot find this model anywhere,
anyone any idea where I could look?

I've never done anything like this before (normally I'd get a
repair man in but ATM I'm skint) would you say it is within the
capability of a reasonably intelligent housewife? (no oxymoron
jokes please).

Have you thought of contacting them?

First thing I did! The link to the spares department is broken.

I did say I was reasonably intelligent...

The link is fine here?

Are you sure?

Bugger.

All I got when I selected the spares online ordering link was
"§@scope=page§"

tried again, got the same thing and then noticed Firefox had blocked a
pop-up. Allowed the pop-up and hey presto, there it was!
Found the door seal (gasket) at £72.60

Thanks - now I feel really stupid

I shall continue to search to see if I can get it any cheaper.

At that price I think I'd try to find a local 'white goods' scrap yard and
see if there's any newish models in there and take the seal.
