Common issues
Hinge-corner gasket tearing
Repeated door slams delaminate the magnet from the vinyl at the hinge-side corners, the first spot to fail.
Fix: Replace the door gasket and check hinge tension and the door closer so the new gasket is not abused.
Door sweating and condensation
A hardened or compressed gasket breaks the seal, letting warm room air leak past the door and condense on the cabinet.
Fix: Replace the gasket and confirm a full seal with the dollar-bill test on every side.
Compressor running constantly
A failing door seal makes the box work harder to hold temperature, driving up run-time and energy cost.
Fix: Reseal the door; a fresh gasket usually restores hold-temp and cuts compressor cycling.
FAQ
Most reach-in refrigerator 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 Traulsen, Delfield, Beverage-Air, Continental, True, Turbo Air. 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.
