The gasket, or seal, of your freezer is essential to keeping it functioning properly and preserving food.

Frequent cleaning will help prolong its life, but if you observe frost accumulation or your freezer having trouble maintaining temperature, it may be time to replace the seal. Maintaining a tight and efficient seal helps your freezer work more efficiently, saving you money on energy costs while keeping your food frozen safely.
