On Topic: refrigerator seals
Hi All,
On Topic. Golly! I have a regenerator with the freeze on the top. The seal on the freezer has a gap on the upper door opening side. It won't stay bent back when I bend it back. Its seems to be crushed. Is this gap on purpose to let air escape when closing the door or should I replace the critter? Many thanks, -T |

Bill +1 If it has crushed there is nothing you can do. The door gasket can be tested with the "dollar bill test". Holds the dollar and has good resistance when pulled out when the door is closed. -- "We recommend using your hand to replace the fuse as it will take much longer using your knee." |
