242193218 - Electrolux Refrigerator Door Gasket

This Electrolux Refrigerator Door Gasket (242193218) is a genuine part compatible with Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerators. Designed to maintain an efficient seal around your appliance's door, this gasket relies on magnetic forces embedded within its flexible rubber or silicone material. When closed, the door's magnetic gasket is attracted to the refrigerator cabinet's corresponding magnets, creating a tight, airtight barrier that prevents the escape of cold air and the entry of warm external air. Not only does it rely on magnetic attraction for its sealing capabilities, but its material's elasticity also plays a critical role, allowing it to deform slightly to ensure an even better seal. This combination of features enables the refrigerator to minimize air exchange, thereby maintaining desired interior temperatures more efficiently. Symptoms indicating the need for this gasket's replacement include an inability to maintain a consistent interior temperature, signs of condensation or frost buildup along the edges of the door, or the door feeling easier than usual to open due to a weakened seal. Before purchasing, please check your device's model number to ensure compatibility.
