6. Instalatzeko jarraibideak

Repair Skill Level: DIY Beginner. For optimal results, basic DIY skills are recommended.

Beharrezko tresnak: No additional tools are needed for installation, though a soft brush or old toothbrush for cleaning and a hair dryer for shaping may be useful.

6.1. Preparing the Gasket for Installation

New gaskets may arrive folded or with wrinkles from packaging. To restore the gasket's flatness and ensure a proper seal, follow these steps:

• Method 1 (Warm Water Soak): Submerge the gasket in warm water (approximately 70°C or 158°F) for 5-10 minutes. Ensure the time is not too long to prevent damage. This helps the material relax and regain its original shape.
• Method 2 (Hair Dryer): Lay the gasket flat. Use a hair dryer on a gentle heat setting to carefully warm and smooth out any wrinkles or folds. Move the hair dryer continuously to avoid overheating any single spot.

6.2. Replacing the Door Gasket

• Step 1: Prepare the Refrigerator. Turn off the power supply to the refrigerator. Remove all contents from the refrigerator and clean the door seal slot thoroughly using a soft brush or an old toothbrush to remove any dirt or debris.
• Step 2: Remove the Old Gasket. Carefully pull out the old sealing strip from its track. Ensure no parts of the old gasket or inner plate fall off.
• Step 3: Install the New Gasket. Begin by installing the four corners of the new gasket first. Align the corners with the card slots and press them firmly into place. Then, work your way from both sides towards the middle, pressing the gasket into the slot along the entire perimeter. Ensure the inner side is pressed in place.
• Step 4: Check for Evenness. After installation, observe whether there are any uneven areas or gaps. If any part is not fully seated, use a hair dryer to gently heat the area and smooth it out, pressing it into place.
• Step 5: Secure the Seal. If the magnetic force of the new gasket feels weak initially, close the refrigerator door and fix it with wide tape for 12-24 hours. This helps the gasket set and activate its magnetism.
• Step 6: Optimize Sealing. For improved magnetic properties, pour some vegetable oil on a paper towel and apply it to the seal near the door hinge from top to bottom. Then close the door.
• Step 7: Finalize. Let the refrigerator run for 24 hours to allow the sealing strip to fully set and achieve optimal sealing. The magnetic force will improve over 1-3 days.

7. Mantentzea

To prolong the life of your Electrolux door gasket and maintain optimal sealing:

• Regularly clean the gasket with mild soap and water to remove food particles and grime.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the gasket material.
• Inspect the gasket periodically for any signs of wear, tears, or hardening.

8. Arazoak

If you experience issues after installing the new gasket, consider the following:

• Gaps or Uneven Sealing: Re-check the installation, ensuring the gasket is fully seated in the track, especially at the corners. Use a hair dryer to gently warm and reshape any uneven sections.
• Weak Magnetic Force: It is normal for the magnetic force to be weak at the beginning. Keep the refrigerator door closed with tape for 12-24 hours to help the gasket set. Applying a thin layer of vegetable oil to the seal can also help improve magnetic adhesion.
• Condensation or Frost Buildup: This indicates a poor seal. Review the installation steps, particularly ensuring the gasket is flat and fully engaged around the entire door frame.
