Door Gasket
The fresh food and freezer doors have magnetic
gaskets that create a positive seal to the front of
the steel cabinet. The magnetic door gaskets are
secured to the fresh food and freezer doors by a
barbed edge that locks into a retainer channel.
Doors
The doors are of one-piece construction with foam
insulation. One-piece construction provides
superior thermal performance and reduces air
infiltration. During manufacturing, the doors are
filled with hot foam insulation. This may cause
slight distortion or ripples in the inner door liner.
This is a normal condition and is the result of the
insulating process. This process requires doors
to be equipped with vent holes that allow air to
escape when the door is filled with foam. A small
amount of foam may be visible around the vent
holes.
The inner door panels and outer door panels
cannot be separated and must be replaced as an
assembly.
