Process
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
The Continental 1RF door gasket measures 21.5" × 29.75" (replaces OEM part 2-726). We confirm against your door before installing. It's a single-door unit, so the door count drives the gasket count.
Most Reach-In Freezer door gaskets run $150–$350 installed in Chicago. We estimate first from the model number, then schedule.
Yes — we cut Continental gaskets on-site from magnetic and push-in extrusion stock carried on every truck, so a back-ordered or discontinued OEM part doesn't stop the repair.
The Continental 1RF door gasket cross-references OEM part 2-726. We match it by size and profile (21.5" × 29.75") rather than relying on the OEM stocking it — so a discontinued number is no obstacle.
