How to Fix Fridge Not Sealing with Hair Dryer 💨🤯
Is your fridge or freezer door leaving an irritating gap due to a faulty seal? No need to rush for professional help or a costly replacement just yet! In this comprehensive tutorial, I'll unveil a simple yet effective DIY solution utilizing only a hair dryer.
By strategically heating the seal (gasket), we prompt the internal magnet to realign, ensuring a snug and effective closure. Once cooled, the seal maintains its optimal shape, guaranteeing a perfect seal every time you close the door. Not only does this ingenious hack enhance the efficiency of your appliance, but it also saves you a significant amount of money.
Before resorting to an expensive replacement, give this method a shot! Your wallet will thank you later. If you find this video helpful, remember to like, share, and subscribe for more invaluable DIY tips to help you save big. Happy fixing, fellow DIY enthusiasts! 👩🔧❄️🚪

Hello, cam I ask how would you apply that Vaseline? Like directly on the exterior of the rubber?

Vaseline breaks down rubber. Use silicone grease instead.

As a nurse, I know that petroleum-based Vasoline will break-down rubber so I advise to use a water-based product for latex condoms. Whether or not your gasket is made of rubber, well, that I don't know.

Quick question. Im having the issue with gasket gap between 2 refrigerator doors which causes condensation to appears, but it looks fine, like there's no gap between the doors when closed. Can this method be used in that situation?
@FridgeSeal
3 ай бұрын
Yes this method should help. Inside the seal is a magnet strip - this is what keeps the door sealed (its not suction) so when you warm up the seal, it lets the magnet inside pull across and seal better, then you wait for the seal to cool down to stay in new shape. You could also try vaseline around the seal as well for an extra layer of protection. is the problem continues, send me a message and i will dig into a deeper dive.
How long does it stay in shape? My problem is my 2 door refrigerator freezer is dripping and refrigerator guy says the lower right are of the main big door hinge hole is frayed which is why it is not shutting firmly and leaves a gap which is barely visible. Any diy for that or this should work for my case too?
@FridgeSeal

Heat with hair dryer, if you do it long enough should fix the issue forever. you can also add a layer of vaseline around the seal to seal any small gaps. depending where the gap is, you can also bend the door with force (open door put towel at opposite end of gap and bend other side of door inwards). this should fix your problems, if not you may need a door adjustment but that is usually when door isnt closing properly due to hinge issues or there is a large gap.
thank you but what heating degrees i should look for ?

as hot as possible with hair dryer. You will not melt seal with hair dryer. Only heatgun will melt the seal, use low setting on heatgun.
How long it's stay properly? Is this permanently or temporary
@FridgeSeal

This is permanent fix. There are other ways to fix this issue as well. Such as putting something underneath the seal to lift it up in that area.

Yes this should work, no need to turn freezer off. It would be best to remove the ice if its in the way, using paint scrapper or melting with a hair dryer but melting can take a while.@@PatriciaHadley-ip8mb if you have any issues let me know.

Omg thank you for the Question and the Answer!! I just noticed my freezer door (double door fridge/freezer) had cold air coming out from the top section so I’ll try this in the upper seal areas. Praying I do it right!! Thanks again for the free and quick fix!!
Best advice is to add 50ml of sulphuric acid to the compressor before regassing to reduce corrosion

Try pull the seal out iwth your fingers, Make sure to heat the inside and underneath the seal then go around and do the outside, make sure to leave door closed for as long as possible afterwards. You can also try and put soemthing underneath the seal like blutak or anything really to prop it up in that area.
Tried it with a hair dryer sat for 30 minutes nothing didn't move ugh

correct, hair dryer might be better for people at home to use though so they dont melt their seal.
