Additional Information
The freezer lid gasket (part number 216480801) replaces previous part numbers 216078400, 216078403, 216078405, 216480802, and 216480803. A properly sealed gasket helps maintain your freezer s efficiency by keeping warm air out and preventing frost buildup, which can lead to higher energy use and inconsistent cooling. If you notice excess frost or temperature fluctuations, replacing the gasket may help restore proper performance.
For best results, smooth out any folds or creases in the gasket by soaking it in warm water or gently warming it with a hair dryer on low heat. To prevent food spoilage, safely store perishable items while the lid remains open during installation.
