Door gasket, black Tefcold SpareParts 12073

A door gasket forms a continuous seal between the cabinet and the door of a refrigerated appliance. When the door closes, the flexible gasket compresses against the metal frame, blocking warm air from entering and cold air from escaping. Over time, the gasket can harden, crack or collect dirt, reducing its ability to seal. Replacing it restores the original insulation and keeps the cooler running at the correct temperature with minimal energy waste.

The gasket is fitted by peeling the old one away from the door channel, cleaning the channel thoroughly, then pressing the new gasket into place. It is designed to snap into the existing groove without adhesive, ensuring a quick and secure fit. Once installed, the door should close smoothly and the gasket should lie flat against the cabinet all the way round.

This black door gasket is manufactured as a direct replacement for the Tefcold SCU2375-I bottle cooler. It matches the original dimensions and profile, so it fits the door channel exactly and maintains the cooler's intended performance.

Regular inspection of the gasket for splits or gaps helps prevent frost build-up and excessive running costs. Cleaning it with a mild detergent solution removes dirt that can interfere with the seal.
