Replacing a fridge door seal

[sarabande]

The fridge door seal has split and is letting outside air inside.

Has anyone replaced the seal, and is it easy pleasey ?

Recently did that job on a Miele fridge. The new seal from Miele came with fitting instructions, and the job was straightforward.

One slight mystery - the instructions mentioned screws holding the seal in place. None on the fridge, and none supplied with the new seal, so I added a few 1/2" s/s self tappers. May not have been necessary.

I renewed the door seal on my Electrolux 3 way fridge. Had to get a generic seal from
eSpares - Spare Parts & Accessories for Electrical Appliances | eSpares as the fridge was so old no parts were stocked. It took a bit of work to fit but made a vast difference to it.

thanks, that helps to know it's a DIY project.

A company called Rehau plastics used to make fridge seals (and other extrusions) - but they may no longer exist.

seal most likely has a magnetic strip all around, right?
I couldn't get a new one for my WEACO and tried the main hardware store that sells and maintains food related h/w for restaurants, patisserie et al.
took the old seal to them built an indentical for 30odd euro iirc. cut 45deg at the corners and thermoplast sealed it somehow.
Door out job for sure btw!
