REFRIGERATOR DOOR SEAL REPLACEMENTDoor gaskets can sometimes be tricky to install, but with a little patience, it can be done. Due to shipping requirements, they are placed in a small box and do require some massaging, patience, and time to get to fit properly Note : First Thing ... Check the door liner under the door seal. If it's cracked around the screws or anywhere else, you will not be able to get a door seal to properly seal. You will have to replace both the door gasket and the inner door liner.
Note: If after replacing the door seal it binds on the hinge side, you may have to add shims behind the door hinge as the new door seal is new and not compressed and is thicker. You can make shims out of thin plastic material. Use the existing shims as a template. I've seen people even use plastic lids off of like butter bowls as shim material.
