Side-by-Side Refrigerator - Adjusting or Replacing the Door Gaskets

The fresh food and freezer doors on your side-by-side refrigerator have magnetic gaskets that slide into a groove retaining channel, creating a tight seal against the door. It is very easy to adjust or replace the door gaskets on the appliance.
