Lid Gasket Replacement
The lid gasket configuration and material will vary depending on the freezer model and vintage. For
the correct part numbers, contact Customer/Technical Service with the freezer serial number. There
are three main types of lid gaskets and the replacement instructions for each are given below.
MVE High Efficiency/HEco Series (Neoprene Tape)
1. Depending on the condition of the current gasket, the gasket material can be removed and
replaced or more material can simply be added to the existing gasket.
2. The replacement gasket material will be a neoprene tape.
3. Simply clean the surfaces, remove the tape back to expose the adhesive and install gasket
material.
4. Trim to size as needed.
5. Cut a 4 inch gap in the gasket material on either side of the lid as shown below to allow
sufficient venting of the freezer space
MVE Series/HEco and HE 1800 Series (Gasket with Trim Seal)
1. Clean the surfaces and remove the existing gasket.
2. Trim new gasket to size as needed.
3. Cut a horizontal slit into the gasket for the locking tab.
4. Push new gasket firmly into position around the lid assembly.
*Note: This gasket is also used on older XLC Freezers (230, 810, 1520).
