Gasket Tefcold SpareParts TC9209201279

A gasket forms an airtight seal between the door and the cabinet of a backbar cooler, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping. In a refrigerated backbar unit, this seal is critical: it keeps the internal temperature stable, reduces the load on the compressor and lowers energy consumption. Without a properly fitted gasket, the cooler must work harder to maintain the set temperature, increasing wear on the system and raising running costs.

The gasket fits around the perimeter of the door, compressing against the cabinet when the door closes. Over time, the material can harden, crack or lose its flexibility, allowing gaps to form. When this happens, the cooler loses efficiency and may struggle to reach or hold the required temperature, risking spoilage of stored drinks and mixers.

To replace the gasket, the operator removes the old seal by peeling it away from the door frame or unscrewing any retaining strip. The new gasket is then pressed into place, ensuring it sits evenly around the entire door edge. No adhesive is required; the gasket is held by its own tension or by a retaining channel built into the door. Once fitted, the door should close smoothly and form a continuous seal when checked with a sheet of paper or a torch in a darkened room.

This gasket is manufactured as a direct replacement for the DB105H-I backbar cooler from Tefcold. It matches the original dimensions and profile, ensuring a correct fit without modification. The material is designed to remain flexible at low temperatures and resist cracking over repeated opening and closing cycles.

Regular inspection of the gasket should be part of routine maintenance. Cleaning is simple: wipe the seal with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dust and spills. Avoid abrasive cleaners or sharp tools that could damage the surface. If the gasket becomes misshapen or fails to seal, it should be replaced promptly to restore the cooler's performance.

This part is listed in the refrigeration spares section of the catalogue, under gaskets and seals for backbar coolers.
