Re: Fitting door seal – any special requirements?

Well, I have finally ordered and received the new door seal. When I started to detach the existing seal, though, I find that underneath its rubbery surface is a white strip, relatively stiff. This appears to be glued to the seal, and to hold tightly into the groove – have not yet tried to detach it for fear of being left without an effective seal at all. No such strip on the new seal, which is just the rubbery stuff.

Has anyone experienced this?

Presumably it is necessary to use a strip like this; is it going to be possible to detach and re-use this one? If not, where can it be obtained? And are there any things to watch out for when fitting (and removing)?

Thanks

Thanks again!
I will order replacement door seal and try the whole operation when it arrives.
and hopefully I will be able to post SUCCESS rather than come back with more problems!

Thanks that’s very helpful!
The problem with the seal is almost certainly due to leakage.
But this is to my mind a design flaw with the fridge. There is some sort of canal to clear condensation at the back which seemed to have clogged up long ago, I see no way to clear it (pipe cleaners etc seem to have a very temporary effect).
