Additional Information
The freezer door gasket (part number MDS64172918) creates an airtight seal to prevent warm air from entering the freezer, maintaining energy efficiency and consistent cooling. A worn or damaged gasket can cause temperature fluctuations, increased energy use, and potential food spoilage. Replacing the gasket restores proper sealing and appliance performance.
To ensure a proper fit, smooth out any folds or creases by soaking the gasket in warm water or gently warming it with a hair dryer on low heat. Protect perishable food items while replacing the gasket to prevent spoilage.
This part replaces MDS38201402 and MDS38201418. Verify compatibility with your model before ordering.

Super easy to install, should have done it earlier... High price though, but better than a new fridge.
