The most obvious symptom is a split in the seal, which is often on the bottom of the door making it hard to spot. Other tell-tale signs could be if your fridge is frosting / freezing up, the door doesn't close properly, you have ants in the fridge, mouldy seals and your power bill is high.
A quick test to see if your seal is working properly - simply place a torch in the fridge and shut the door. If you can see light coming from the refrigerator then more than likely your fridge seal needs replacing. Fridge Sealers come to you - we make, measure and fit onsite.
A good working fridge seal stops the fridge from freezing or frosting up, makes sure that the door stays shut, seals the fridge completely so no ants can get in, insures that your produce is stored at the correct temperature, and saves on power bills as your fridge or freezer doesn't have to overpower the warm air coming from outside through the broken seals. There are many benefits to having a good working seal! Fridge Sealers replace fridge and freezer seals Auckland wide.
Fridge Sealers can fix almost any domestic or commercial fridge, freezer or coolroom seal. Old or new. We custom make most seals on site. When filling in our contact form, include the make and model number of the fridge, then we can confirm whether the seal is replaceable.
Your fridge model number is usually somewhere on the inside of the door. It will say "Model Number" and consist of a series of letters and numbers. You can also sometimes find it on the energy rating rating sticker. In some cases it will be on the back of the firdge / freezer. If it has rubbed off or you can't find it, you can attach close up photos of the seal on the contact form to help us identify the seal. The button below will take you to a web page explaining more on how to find the model number.
To keep your new seals clean use a damp cloth and warm water to wipe general grime off the seals regularly. The sides of a seal are easily cleaned with an old soft tooth brush and warm water.
A light coating of petroleum jelly (e.g. Vasoline) on the contact faces of the seal roughly every 3-6 months can greatly increase the life of your fridge seal.
Check that your fridge door is hanging square. An askew door is generally caused by people overloading the door or leaning/pulling down on the door. This can easily be fixed and carries a small charge for a stand-alone service and is free with any seal replacement.
