I’ve got a 3 yr old Siemens fridge freezer (a KG32U123GB). A 4” long tear in the seal to the freezer has just appeared. I called Siemens & they quoted £72 to turn-up and then £23 for a new seal.
Does anyone know if this is a job for a moderately capable DIY’er?

Re: Replacing a Seal on a Siemens Freezer
The fact that a seal is even available, would suggest that it’s not rocket-science to replace it
IMO, first , source your new seal, then ascertain just how the old one comes outsome have a lip to clip it to the door and another to retain the door-liner
others have clips/screws/rivets holding the lineragainst the door with the seal-lip sandwiched between.
generally, if you roll the seal outward from the liner ,to expose it’s edge, you should see how it’s fitted.
In the worst case, you’ve already got a new seal, just use the “find an engineer” function here, to locate someone to do it!
