Do you know how to fix a broken refrigerator door seal?

The refrigerator has been used for a long time, and its magnetic door seal is prone to aging deformation, wrinkling, adhesion, warping and other faults, resulting in failures such as the refrigerator is not closed tightly, the heat insulation is not good, and the compressor works for a long time without shutting down. Several methods are now provided for reference:
1. It is laborious to open the refrigerator, and the suction of the door seal is tight
Solution:
1. Regularly clean the door seal with soapy water to maintain good elasticity and smoothness;
2. Remove the condensation from the door seal and apply a little gliding powder to remove it.
Second, the door seal deformation
Approach:
1. Please purchase a new door seal replacement;
2. One-piece door seal split maintenance method
Due to the product's withdrawal from the market, it is impossible to purchase the same type of door seal. You can purchase a slightly larger door seal, preferably with the same width, and replace it after adjusting the size. The steps are as follows:
a. Remove the bad door seal that needs to be replaced;
b. Keep the upper right and lower left right angles of the new door seals purchased, and cut off the other pair of diagonal corners with scissors;
c. Measure the length and width of the original door seal from side to side. On the basis of the original size of the original door seal, leave a margin of about 4mn on each side, so that it can be used for lap joint when hot glued;
d. The magnetic strip of the new door seal should be cut into a 45° oblique angle so that the butt joints form a right angle of 90°;
e. Melt and stick the lap joint with an electric soldering iron, and trim the joint with a blade to make it smooth to ensure the sealing of the door seal; when the electric soldering iron is melted and adhered, it needs to be connected in the reverse direction of the door seal;
f. Install the glued door seal, check it with a piece of paper, the door seal is good, and the fault of the refrigerator is eliminated.
Third, if the refrigerator door seal is s-shaped bending. Use a ruler to press the inside of the seal, and then use a hair dryer to slightly heat the curved part. Stop heating when the plastic becomes slightly soft. After the refrigerator door seal is cooled, remove the ruler to restore the seal to its original state. .
It should be noted that when heating with a hair dryer, the temperature should not be too high, otherwise the door seal plastic will soften, foam and deform. When heating, if you use a 700w hair dryer, it should be controlled within 1min, and it is appropriate to be about 3cm away from the seal.
