Product Description
Ensure your freezer maintains a tight, efficient seal with the genuine OEM part number 242193205, designed for select Frigidaire (and related) refrigerator/freezer models. The freezer door gasket is key to keeping the cold air in and warm air out, preventing frost build-up, excessive compressor run time and moisture issues. According to parts listings, this is listed under “GASKET-Freezer Door” for the manufacturer. PartSelect+2Home Depot Appliance Repair+2
Because door liner channel dimensions, gasket groove styles and hinge/door alignments differ by model and production year, please check with your maintenance technician prior to ordering to confirm that 242193205 is the correct seal for your specific appliance model.
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-engineered fit: Manufactured by Frigidaire (Electrolux group) to the exact profile used in compatible models, ensuring a precise seal. PartSelect+1
-
Energy & performance improvement: A good door gasket helps prevent cold-air leakage, reducing compressor load and helping maintain colder stable freezer temperature.
-
Reduced frost & condensation: By sealing properly, the gasket helps prevent moisture infiltration, frost build-up on the freezer liner, and ice accumulation.
-
Restores storage integrity: A fresh gasket improves appearance (no gaps or warpage), helps door close cleanly, and supports proper interior storage functionality.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing a worn or damaged seal is significantly less expensive than high-energy consumption or major liner/freeze-board repairs.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
Frost or ice forming around the freezer door liner edge or on the gasket itself — indicating warm air ingress.
-
Freezer door appears mis-aligned, sagging, or you feel air seeping in around the door perimeter when it’s closed.
-
The compressor is running constantly or more frequently than usual yet the freezer does not maintain proper temperature.
-
Moisture or condensation pools on the interior liner walls or around the door seal area.
-
The existing gasket is visibly cracked, warped, discoloured, has missing magnetic strip (if applicable), or doesn’t lay flush in its channel.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your refrigerator/freezer’s full model number, and note the existing gasket’s part number if available. Even with an identical part number, there may be slight variations in door liner channel, hinge spacing or magnetic strip orientation.
-
If the freezer door liner is bent, the hinge is worn, or the door doesn’t close properly, simply replacing the gasket may not fully restore performance. It’s advisable to have your maintenance technician inspect the door/drawer alignment.
-
A proper installation often includes warming the gasket slightly (per manufacturer instructions), ensuring the magnetic strip engages fully, and verifying the door closes flush without gaps.
-
After replacement, monitor freezer performance — if temperature issues persist, other causes (fan motor, evaporator, sealed-system) should be checked by a technician.
