How To Fix: Fridge Not Sealing Or Freezer Icing Up.

[@coombswoodenshoe]

FIXED! THANK YOU! Brand new fridge and the freezer had a huge gap...fixed now with the hairdryer trick.

[@expjw]

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.

If this just saved my broke millennial behind from buying a new fridge I swear I’m going to cry tears of relief.

[@Koko-qs8zx]

Did it work for you?

[@bryanblackford4838]

Well did it?

[@markd1328]

I'm a broke millennial about to buy a new one- if this saves me too ill cry a bit woth relief as well

[@EastTexasRanching]

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.

Can't wait to get home and try this

[@shannonluciano]

Not only does it work I bought the seal also from you guys thanks so much 🎉🎉🎉

[@scoper04]

Great video. I tried it when I got home it took me about 5 minutes and I fixed the problem.

[@klingdogg1]

Brilliant! Worked like a charm.

[@FridgeSeal]

glad it helped :)

[@zeustemesgen]

Lifting the door up did the trick for me‼️

[@chrissy2254]

Fixed my fridge with this method. It definitely works! Thank you

[@FridgeSeal]

I'm glad it helped Chrissy!

[@FrankE92]

Thank you so much for your tips. I pulled the seal a little out and that made the deal.

[@FridgeSeal]

Thank you Frank, i appreciate the kind words.

[@MichelleJackson66]

Amazing! Thank you

[@garethtudor836]

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

[@FridgeSeal]

This should help! if not, let me know

[@RizN91]

Thanks

[@FridgeSeal]

Thank you! I will put any donations towards making new/better videos.

[@lululiga333]

Really great hack. Worked for me. BIG thanks.

[@katej4280]

Fixed - thank you. Great tip.

[@lisamurray8674]

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

[@FridgeSeal]

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.

[@benadetteawino7132]

It has worked, thanks a million

[@Helen-kt1hr]

This worked straight away thanks

[@TheMozangeles101]

You Rock! Thanks bud!

[@pamelablythe6835]

It worked thanku. Just streched the rubber.

[@FridgeSeal]

[@Rubaszny_Barnaba]

Fixed! Thanks a lot! :D

[@mnkkhan149]

This actually work

[@danconley433]

Great video. Thank you.

[@FridgeSeal]

cheers mate

[@otisfloyd1404]

I like this technique it really helps

[@chrismcc3423]

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.

[@FridgeSeal]

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.

[@markd1328]

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.

[@FridgeSeal]

I am glad it worked. If you need help with anything else let me know!

[@crystalg2787]

Your amazing 😇 thank you so much! Total life saver ❤

[@FridgeSeal]

Thank you!

[@Splarkszter]

Awesome!

[@FridgeSeal]

No You!

[@submergedvisions3151]

Thank you! Just saved me money!

[@FridgeSeal]

:) thank you for posting your feedback.

[@casper2095]

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.

[@adrianfox9431]

Can you use rubber renewer to make it softer?

[@FridgeSeal]

I've never tried but heat will make the rubber softer.

[@shuumai]

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??

[@bethprice4339]

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.

[@FridgeSeal]

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

[@bethprice4339]

@FridgeSeal Many thanks for your reply. I repeated your procedure and the freezer door now seals completely. Thank you so much! Best wishes.

[@Vickietreats_]

I just tried this on my fridge and it seals well expect there’s a little space at the bottom. Thank you

[@MT-gd3vz]

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.

[@Gankiao]

Thank you!

[@FridgeSeal]

You're welcome!

[@fahdhuss]

how to fix the suction building inside which wont let you reopen the freezer door immediately after closing

[@FridgeSeal]

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.

[@dianalovell5313]

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.

[@willcha8127]

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

[@FridgeSeal]

:) thank you for posting your feedback.

[@TaigiTWeseDiplomat--Formosan]

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.

[@reginabracy8036]

Thanks. This is great!

[@boganubis7566]

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.

[@FridgeSeal]

If you can upload a quick video showing the issue, i will tell you how to fix it quickly. also this video might help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJWvioynjNuHjs0

[@lululiga333]

You need to google the seal for your particular fridge freezer and buy it.

[@armagedonthe1gamer]

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.

[@tonymillert]

great!

[@joebland123]

Didn't work for me

[@Koko-qs8zx]

Y r u deleting my comment?

[@FridgeSeal]

What comment? lol... write what you need and i will help you.

[@Koko-qs8zx]

@@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 🤷‍♂️

[@Brazill253]

​@@Koko-qs8zx😐

[@hidden_machine3]

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
