Just a note. The one I did the door warped out of shape so I had to take the door off and lay it flat on the floor and snug the screws down kind of like lug nuts on a car. Doing opposite ones back and forth and across. Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert J.

Hi Rita This should not be too difficult. If it is like the fridge that I have, you will find screws along both sides and the top and bottom behind the flap of the door seel. Just pull back the flap on the inside of the door and you will find the screws. I would make sure to have all the product off the door shelves because the inside pannal may come loose when you take out all the screws.you just slide the old one out and screw in the new one. If you leave a couple of screws in the bottom and start the new one at the top this should hold the pannal in place. once you get the new one started you can take out the final screws at the bottom and finnish the job.Pay very close attention to how the old one is assembled before you remove it. You want to do this with any project any way. Make sure that the back flap is behind the door pannal and the front flap is in front of the door pannal. Once you have re assembled every thing It is very important to warm it up with a hair dryer because the new seal will come folded up in a box and will be slightly creased. Be careful not to get it so hot as to warp the rubber seal but warm enough to make sure it is all laying nice and flat.

I am careful to push the door completely shut each time. Certainly the seal needs to be replaced. How does one go about doing this and I would need step by step instructions as the janitor in my building has such high prices. It is my own refrigerator. With the weather being as it is, I may not do this for a week or so. Any ideas would really be appreciated.
