How to Replace a Frigidaire FFC15C3AW0 Freezer Door Gasket

The Frigidaire FFC15C3AW0 model has special gaskets on the refrigerator and freezer doors. These gaskets allow the doors to close more securely, sealing the cold air in and keeping the temperature inside the appliance regulated. If you notice that your Frigidaire's freezer compartment is no longer keeping your ice cubes, ice cream and frozen dinners cold enough, it could be something as simple as a worn-out freezer door gasket. You can buy a new gasket at your local appliance store and install it yourself.

Instructions

- 1
  Remove any food from the doors on the side of the freezer and from the front part of the freezer compartment as well. You want to give yourself a clear area to work with.
- 2
  Grasp the old gasket by its interior flange and pull it back until you can see the gasket retainer. Use a hex head screwdriver to loosen the retaining screws running along the perimeter of the freezer door. Do not remove the screws, just loosen them. Once the screws are loosened, you can simply pull the old gasket out and discard it.
- 3
  Work the lip of a new gasket behind the retainer, starting at one of the corners. Work the new gasket into the retainer one section at a time until the entire gasket is firmly in place then tighten the retaining screws. Lubricate the side of the gasket closest to the door hinge by applying a thin coating of petroleum jelly.
