Model coverage
Common issues
Ice buildup around the door frame
A worn freezer gasket lets humid air in, which freezes on the frame and the gasket itself, worsening the leak.
Fix: Replace the gasket; on heated-wire doors verify the perimeter heater is intact before refitting.
Door freezing shut
A torn or stiff gasket lets moisture migrate to the seal, where it freezes and bonds the door to the frame.
Fix: Replace the gasket and check the heater wire and door alignment so the seal stays dry.
Frost on product near the door
Air infiltration past a bad seal carries moisture that frosts product stored near the opening.
Fix: Reseal the door and verify the dollar-bill test holds at the corners.
FAQ
Most reach-in freezer door gaskets run $150–$350 installed, depending on door count and size. We estimate first from the brand and model number, then schedule same-day or next-day for stocked sizes.
All of them — including Atosa, Beverage-Air, Continental, Traulsen, True. We carry common sizes on the truck and cut the rest on-site from extrusion stock, so brand or age is never a blocker.
Sweating or condensation around the door, ice buildup, a gasket that's torn, hardened, or won't pass a dollar-bill test, and a unit working harder to hold temperature all point to a failed seal. Send a photo of a torn corner and we'll confirm.
