Door Gaskets
The fresh food and freezer doors have magnetic gaskets
that create a positive seal to the front of the steel cabinet.
The cabinet has magnets around the perimeter and center
mullion under the front edge.
The magnetic door gaskets are secured to the doors by a
barbed edge that locks into a retainer channel.
To remove and replace the door gasket:
1. Starting at any corner, pull the old gasket out
of the retaining channel.
2. Soak the new gasket in warm water to make it
pliable.
3. Push the barbed edge of the gasket into the
retainer channel.
Door Closer Assembly
Each door is equipped with a door closer assembly that
provides a smooth closing action
and prevents the door
from being slammed shut. The assembly is connected to
the bottom hinge. When the door is open to a 90°
position, it will automatically close. Beyond this position,
the door will stay open.
To remove the door closer assembly:
1. Remove the toe plate.
2. Remove the 8-mm mounting screw.
3. Insert a small screwdriver into the retaining
clip at the bottom of the shock absorber and
lift up (see photo).
4. Using a large screwdriver, lever the shock
absorber off the pivot ball as shown.
5. Remove the door closer assembly by pulling it

shock absorber support.
