Black gasket Tefcold SpareParts 12631

A replacement gasket forms an unbroken seal around refrigerator, freezer or display doors, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping. The flexible strip compresses between the door and the cabinet frame, closing the gap that would otherwise let heat transfer disrupt temperature control. Without a tight seal, the compressor runs longer to compensate, increasing energy use and shortening equipment life.

To install, the operator removes the old gasket by pulling it free from the retaining channel or adhesive strip. The new gasket is pressed into the same channel, starting at one corner and working around the perimeter, ensuring the full length lies flat without stretching or bunching. Once seated, the door is closed and the seal inspected for even compression along all edges. A properly fitted gasket feels slightly resistant when the door is opened, confirming the seal is airtight.

The gasket is cut to a precise size of 590 mm by 670 mm, matching the door or panel it is designed to fit. Its weight of 0.5 kg allows it to be handled and positioned without difficulty during installation. The material remains flexible across the temperature range of professional refrigeration, maintaining its sealing properties without hardening or cracking.

Cleaning follows from the material: a damp cloth removes surface dirt, while a mild detergent solution tackles grease or residue. Abrasive pads or solvents are avoided to prevent damage to the gasket surface. Regular inspection for wear or gaps ensures the seal remains effective, reducing unnecessary strain on the refrigeration system.

This gasket is a direct replacement part for specified Tefcold refrigeration and catering units, restoring the original seal where the door or panel dimensions match 590 x 670 mm.
