Gasket Replacement

Tools Required
• Caulk gun
• Black 100% silicone
There are two types of door gaskets; narrow and wide gaskets (see
fig 1). The correct gasket for your unit varies by cabinet age and
model. The gaskets are NOT interchangeable.
NOTE: For narrow gaskets, it's important to remember which
track the gasket was removed from. Normally, the gasket is in
the center track on the top, bottom, and handle sides. On the
hinge side, it's on the inside track.
Procedure
1. From the upper right or left-hand corner, carefully pull
removable gasket away from the door. See fig. 2.
2. Apply silicone to each corner of the door/gasket channel. See
fig. 3.
3. After applying silicone to the corners, push the gaskets back
into their original tracks. Press corners in
NOTE: The silicone will seal any possible air leaks. Excess
silicone should seep out of the track.
4. Clean any excess silicone.
NOTE: Gasket color may vary depending on unit.
