DA97-12522E - Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket

This Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket (DA97-12522E) is a genuine part made by Samsung for use in their refrigerators. It is designed to work seamlessly with your appliance to ensure a tight seal around the door, preventing the escape of cold air and the entry of warm external air. The gasket is embedded with magnets around its perimeter, which are attracted to corresponding magnets mounted on the refrigerator cabinet. This magnetic attraction forms an airtight barrier that is essential for maintaining desired interior temperatures efficiently. As it is made of a flexible rubber or silicone material, the gasket allows the refrigerator door to seal tightly while remaining easy to open and close. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a replacement include difficulty maintaining consistent interior temperatures, visible wear or damage to the existing gasket, and the fridge running more frequently than usual. To ensure a proper fit and function, it is advisable to warm the gasket with a hair dryer on low heat or soak it in warm water to smooth out any folds or creases before installation. Before purchasing, please verify your device's model number for compatibility. This ensures you get the correct part for your specific model, avoiding the hassle of returns or incorrect installations.
