NOTE: Air leaks will cause insufcient cooling as well
as rapid formation of frost.
For freezer doors not sealing at the angled portion of the
door, replace the sealing strip mounted under the gasket.
For refrigerators lacking this strip, contact Dometic Tech-
nical Services and ask for part# 385133501.
Note: To form a proper seal, it is important not to
leave any gaps
9.2 Interior Liner Seal To Frame
There is a seal that is applied to the liner in the area
where the metal frame makes contact with the interior
liner. If this seal is incomplete, cold air can migrate out to
the metal frame. If this happens, condensation could form
on the frame and could promote rapid formation of frost.
If you suspect an improper seal, apply a small bead of
silicone all the way around the perimeter where the frame
meets the interior liner. Next remove all screws securing
the refrigerator into the cabinet and slide the refrigerator
out approximately 2–4 inches. Clean the metal frame and
foil-backed insulation around the refrigerator. Apply a foil-
backed adhesive tape to the joint between the outer frame
and the foil-backed refrigerator insulation. Make sure the
refrigerator is dry and that the surface temperatures are
above 50° F. Use a white silicon caulking compound and
seal the seam between the refrigerator’s plastic liner and
the metal frame. Apply the silicon in a continuous bead
around both the freezer and fresh food compartments.
