Door And Drawer Gaskets - GE GYE18JBL Technical Service Manual

Each door and drawer have a magnetic gasket that creates a positive seal to the front of the steel
cabinet. The magnetic gaskets are secured to the door or drawer by a barbed edge that locks into a
retainer channel.
Gasket Removal and Replacement
1. Starting at any corner, pull the old gasket out of the retaining channel.
2. Soak the new gasket in warm water to make it pliable.
3. Push the barbed edge of the gasket into the retainer channel.
NOTE: A thin coat of petroleum jelly or paraffin
wax can be applied to the hinge side (sealing
side) of the gaskets to improve closure across the
cabinet.
The door gaskets have a left and right side.
When installing a new gasket, ensure the wider
ends at the top and bottom of the gasket (shown
in the image to the right) are on the mullion side
of the door.
