How to replace a door gasket on your Electrolux side-by-side refrigerator

• Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the refrigerator is shut off for this repair. Then unplug the refrigerator or shut off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator.
• Carefully pull the panels apart slightly and remove the existing gasket. Pull out the door gasket.
• To smooth creases and folds in the gasket, soak it in warm water and let it dry. Or carefully warm it with a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting. Be careful not to melt the gasket.
• Starting at the top of the door, work the lip of the new door gasket into the gap between the inner and outer door panels. Work your way down both sides of the door and across the bottom. Check for loose spots. Work the new gasket into the gap between the panels.
• Plug in the refrigerator or turn on the house circuit breaker to restore power.

Troubleshooting the ice maker in your Electrolux side-by-side refrigerator

Several problems can interfere with making ice. The ice maker could be jammed or broken, a dirty water filter or kinked water line could be blocking water flow or the water inlet valve could be clogged or faulty. Check the ice maker for jammed cubes and clear any ice buildup that you find. Replace the ice maker assembly if it doesn't cycle when activated. Replace the water inlet valve if it's clogged or won't fill the ice maker when activated. Replace any damaged or clogged water system tubing.

No ice in the ice maker also could mean that your refrigerator isn't cooling-the ice maker won't cycle if the freezer is warmer than 5 degrees F. Check for problems that could prevent the freezer from cooling such as dirty condenser coils or a damaged freezer door gasket.
