Hotpoint Fridge Freezer Door Seal
The magnetic rubber seal that keeps cold air in and warm air out around the door.
Signs it has failed
- Frost or ice building up around the door edge
- Condensation or water pooling inside or beneath
- The compressor runs constantly
- A gap or a door that does not close firmly
Check before you buy
- Close the door on a sheet of paper: if it slides out easily, the seal is not gripping
- Check the seal for tears, hard sections or mould in the folds
- Check the fridge is level and the door has not dropped
What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your fridge freezer and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).
How to replace it
- Warm the new seal in warm water or with a hairdryer so it becomes flexible
- Pull the old seal out of its channel, or unscrew the retaining strip if there is one
- Clean the channel
- Press the new seal in, starting at the top corners
- Close the door, warm any creases with a hairdryer and let it settle
Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.
