DA97-17218D - Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket

This Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket (DA97-17218D) is an essential component for any Samsung refrigerator, ensuring a tight seal around the door to keep cold air in and prevent warm air from entering. Compatible with Samsung brand, the gasket is crafted from durable, flexible rubber or silicone material embedded with magnets around its perimeter, known for its elasticity and magnetic properties that enable an effective airtight barrier. Also known as the "Assembly Gasket-ref," this Samsung-manufactured genuine part seamlessly fits your specific model fridge, negating the need for a mechanical door latch by utilizing magnetic forces instead. If your refrigerator door struggles to maintain desired interior temperatures, exhibits condensation around the door, or you find it harder to maintain the coolness inside, it might be time to replace the door gasket. Should you notice smooth folds or creases, consider soaking it in warm water or warming it with a hair dryer on low heat for a straightforward replacement process which safeguards your food from deterioration during the repair. Before making the purchase, confirm the compatibility with your device's model number to ensure a perfect fit.
