FIXED! THANK YOU! Brand new fridge and the freezer had a huge gap...fixed now with the hairdryer trick.
Not only does it work I bought the seal also from you guys thanks so much 🎉🎉🎉
If this just saved my broke millennial behind from buying a new fridge I swear I’m going to cry tears of relief.
Did it work for you?
Well did it?
I'm a broke millennial about to buy a new one- if this saves me too ill cry a bit woth relief as well
I had the same problem yesterday installing a new seal. The bottom opening side corner just wouldn't connect. I thought I wasted money on the seal but then laying in bed last night the light globe moment happened and I figured out a solution which I put into immediate action the next morning to see if it worked and yep success!!!! Not sure if this page is active but happy to share my solution if anyone has the same problem.
Im interested in knowing
@@abigailo4661 I put some leaing weight against the fridge door. One of those olive oil 3 litre cans on an angle so it leans on the door bottom corner (opposite side of hinge) in the middle of the door a barbell weight. This meant that the seal all around was connecting. Then I heated the seal in a continual circular motion so it softened up and stayed in that position. Then I left it like that overnight. The logic is that you can't stretch out the bit that won't connect more than the amount of rubber there is so why not bring the rest of the seal down it its level. It worked spot on for me.
Thank you for this tip of pulling out the flattened seal. Even though mine is 8 years old, the seal is still soft and pliable but only flattened out and had uneven gaps. After pulling out to give the seal more "air-bulked" , my door now seals much better.
Can't wait to get home and try this
Thank you for your video. I have a Whirlpool side by side refrigerator/freezer. The freezer would not seal at all. Had been getting worse and worse. I removed the seal, cleaned it up (got the glue and mold off it), dried it, put it in the dryer for about 20 mins to get it to soften (and it did a great job) then used your point of turning it upside down, and reinstalled it (THAT was difficult.. had to do it about a half inch at a time utilizing wedges that are used to pop dashboards in vehicles loose). Door went from not sealing at all to sealing fantastic. Thank you for your pointers. Kept me from paying over 200.00 for a new seal.
Great video. I tried it when I got home it took me about 5 minutes and I fixed the problem.
Brilliant! Worked like a charm.
glad it helped :)
Fixed my fridge with this method. It definitely works! Thank you
I'm glad it helped Chrissy!
Thank you so much for your tips. I pulled the seal a little out and that made the deal.
Thank you Frank, i appreciate the kind words.
Lifting the door up did the trick for me‼️
Really great hack. Worked for me. BIG thanks.
Fixed - thank you. Great tip.
Amazing! Thank you
Mine had a gap probably from the bottom all the way to the bottom of the handle it is a regular refrigerator I have tried everything I just use the blow dryer on it I bent it out and everything for right now it's staying sealed but how long do I have to leave it shut in order for it to fix itself
Usually after heating and manipulating the seal, it should stay in shape after 30 minutes.
You may need to bend the door or try other methods if the gap is recurring.
If you are having further trouble let me know.
I like this technique it really helps
It has worked, thanks a million
Great video. Thank you.
cheers mate
Neighbour's eldest just moved out and was given a fridge which has a gappy seal. I'll give this a try and hopefully save her the cost of a replacement
This should help! if not, let me know
Oh, the seal comes out just like that. Awesome. Washed in hot water. Flipped it over. Adjusted the door. Hairdryer! Winning.
Mine also appears to be leaking from a gap in the metalwork between the plastic box (freezer interior moulding) and the metal outer. Probably shouldn't matter that much, but definitely some cool air coming from there, so bit of blue-tack over the gaps and job done. 20mins. Gotta be happy with that.
Fixed! Thanks a lot! :D
It worked thanku. Just streched the rubber.
glad it worked :)
You Rock! Thanks bud!
This actually work
Hello. Thanks for the quick and easy to follow video! I have replaced my freezer gasket, but its not sealing well. I used the warm water trick, hair dryer, and pressing along gaps. It looks good to the eye. No gaps. However the paper test fails and I am still getting ice build up. Any other suggestions? I have run out of ideas.
How long has the new seal been on the door for? It can take a little while to settle in.
Its' hard for me to offer a specific suggestion without seeing the freezer seal.
Are you sure its 100% sealing all the way around the door inc the bottom of the door when closed?
If you want to take the time making a quick video of the freezer and issue id be happy to watch and offer suggestions.
Awesome!
No You!
Thank you for sharing this helpful video. Your technique was about 80% successful on my brand new refrigerator which had a 4 inch gap at top of freezer gasket. I will repeat again.
Should I use medium or high heat when using my hair dryer? Thanks again.
Sorry for the late reply! with hair dryer, high heat. Depending on the brand and type of seal there are other better tips to fix the gap, like putting small amount of blutack underneath the seal to raise it out (this only works for flap seals).
If you are still having an issue with the gap, send me an email and i can give you suggestions to fix it easily - brett @ fridgeseal dot com
@FridgeSeal Many thanks for your reply. I repeated your procedure and the freezer door now seals completely. Thank you so much! Best wishes.
Jfc, it worked impeccably. This is 20 mins after the initial application and I'm expecting to have to redo the whole thing again properly but as a haphazard "have a go" I've initially done I'm genuinely surprised hiw well the 10 mins I put in worked out.
I'm not naive to the fact the item will need replacing soon but at least my 2 tubs of Ben and Jerry's and my frozen avocado toast are safe for the coming days.
I am glad it worked. If you need help with anything else let me know!
I have a freezer from 2001 with a large gap in the seal. Should I try this, replace the seal, or replace the entire freezer??
One can refresh the entire door seal by removing it and placing it into boiling water.
Boil a lot of water in every pot one has - and in a microwave oven and tip it into the
Laundry sink - soak the seal in boiling water - keep the water as close to boiling point -
even if it means removing some and adding more heat - as the water cools quickly
Hot water can help get the seal to straighten out if its misshaped. the issue with boiling water is, with certain seals like screw in seals by the time you get the seal on the door, it has completely cooled down and is ineffective, you will find most people that do this method are in 3rd world counties and can't afford a hair dryer or electricity. A heat gun or hair dryer is much easier and quicker.
I was unaware that the UK is a third world country, hair dryers use over 1000watts, that would trip everything in my house.
@@Twisted1409
You will find that Hair Dryers are turned ON to Maximum power -
they consume 1800 Watts
And while on the Subject of Hair Dryers - something that most
people today are unaware of is:
AIR FORCE is MILITARY
Air Force is what comes out of your Hair dryer
_ They sound the same but they are NOT the same
They are WRITTEN differently.
I can tell you that as a former AIR FORCE pilot who served with
RAF Bomber Command - 30 years MILITARY service - SERVING
three countries.
Also in your reply next reply - explain the difference between
ON OFF and on off explaining in which context they are used
and give an example.
Also if you know - explain how many types of English there are -
and define them
Make sure you understand the question -
It is not a question about how many different accents there are.
we will soon discover by your answers whether you are in a third-world country or not.
Thanks
Thank you! I will put any donations towards making new/better videos.
Can you use rubber renewer to make it softer?
I've never tried but heat will make the rubber softer.
This worked straight away thanks
how to fix the suction building inside which wont let you reopen the freezer door immediately after closing
There could be a few things causing this, such as blocked vents. You could try adjusting the temperature slightly warmer to see if that helps. If the issue persists, you might need to install a vacuum relief valve to relieve the pressure.
To the fridge that already running and fill with stuff, try vaseline, the petroleum on the edge of the contact of your door, I tried glue but it didn't work (caused the mess) and now this way seems working to stop the cool air leaking through the paper thin gap.
We don’t have a gap that we can see but we used the hairdryer a few minutes ago and waiting to see if works.
Thank you! Just saved me money!
:) thank you for posting your feedback.
I just tried this on my fridge and it seals well expect there’s a little space at the bottom. Thank you
Do you have a pullout sleave in the bottom to drain the water when the fridge/freezer is turned off that can cause it, if it isn't totally put back.
My fridge was leaking stuff wasn;'t staying frozen, noticed on side it wasnt flush and i could feel cold air.. did this with the hairdryer and now its back... man maybe saved me 3k getting a new one
:) thank you for posting your feedback.
Thanks. This is great!
great!
I have a different kind of problem like I have a extra seal.
The seal get just twisted and door just won't get closed. Like there is more seal than it should be.
If you can upload a quick video showing the issue, i will tell you how to fix it quickly. also this video might help - th-cam.com/video/FdLYYqWvTXk/w-d-xo.html
You need to google the seal for your particular fridge freezer and buy it.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I just put some duck tape on my fridge and called it a day. looks ugly but I don't own the fridge so idc.
Didn't work for me
Y r u deleting my comment?
What comment? lol... write what you need and i will help you.
@@FridgeSealI have this issue and tried what you suggest which is a good idea but didn’t work for me. I’ve spent over $200 on 2 replacement gaskets also. It was a waste of money. I fixed it for good when I put a door lock on it. No more frosting up. I suggested this in 2 other posts on your video. It was deleted both times 🤷♂️
@@Koko-qs8zx😐
Which ones did you buy? I can buy those cheap plastic baby proof fridge locks, but I'm not sure about the quality@@Koko-qs8zx
DO NOT USE A HEAT GUN ---
The heat is excessive and will most likely damage the
coating on the appliance -- then there will be tears before bedtime.
A hairdryer - if one is using such - will be HOT enough
My imagination is going wild over what transpired in your home 😕
