The PVC jacket is made of raw materials through extrusion, and the shape varies according to different refrigerator products, models, and designs, and is divided into different shapes, heights, and lengths.

Magnetic strips are made by combining magnetic materials and plasticizers and extruding magnetization.

How to install the refrigerator seal.

Turn the refrigerator seal upside down, and if it is secured with screws, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the seal one by one, and then pull the seal away from the door liner and remove it.

Use the same type of sealing strip to compare whether the position is suitable before installation.

When installing, first put the sealing strip around the door liner, and then attach it to the inner side of the door, align the original fixing hole, fix it with screws on the upper side first, and then tighten the screws on the diagonal position, and pay attention to the flatness and position of the sealing strip before fastening the screws.

After installation, open and close the refrigerator door several times to check the sealing between the refrigerator door and the box. If the seal is not good due to poor installation, loosen the 2-3 screws where the defective part of the sealing strip is located and adjust.

Repair method of refrigerator seals.

Hair dryer shaping: If the refrigerator itself has not been used for a long time, just the sealing strip is a little loose, you only need to use the hot air of the hair dryer to blow the sealing strip soft. The main material of the sealing strip of the refrigerator on the market is mostly silicone, which is easy to soften when a little heat, and then press the sealing strip with an iron ruler or other item to make it tightly buckle on the refrigerator door until the temperature cools.

Fill with cotton: The refrigerator seal will not close the refrigerator door tightly for a long time, so you can use cotton to fill the untight place. You don't need to remove the entire seal, you just need to gently pry up some of the loose places, and then stuff some cotton into it.

Soak in hot water: If the refrigerator seal is slightly deformed, you can repair it with a hair dryer, but if the deformation is slightly serious, you can remove the whole seal and soak it in hot water for 10 minutes, then straighten the soft seal, let it cool naturally, and then reinstall it. If the seal is re-stretched and the seal is extended, the excess can be cut off.

Padded adjustment: When the sealing strip is in contact with the flange of the outer box so that the refrigerator door is not closed tightly, the middle and lower hinges can be moved to increase the distance between the outer box and the refrigerator door, and then add gaskets or cardboard sheets to the middle hinge to re-tighten the 3 screws of the hinge.

Fifth, remember to trim the length and end angle of the sealing strip to avoid mismatch with the removed sealing strip and abnormal situation after putting it back in the refrigerator. Buy the sealing strip of the original refrigerator of the same model on the electronic market or from the manufacturer. Close the refrigerator door and test its sealing effect, if there is an uneven place, you can use an electric hair dryer to open the hot air to soften the sealing strip, and then adjust it.

See if the sealing strip is built-in, the current refrigerator is generally built-in, which is easy to disassemble, wash and replace. Use a pen to mark the inside of the corner of the seal to indicate the location. Then the upper two corners are slowly pulled out, the action should be light, and the door strip should be pulled down slowly.

1. Hot food cannot be directly put into the running refrigerator, because this will make the external temperature of the food low and the internal temperature high, resulting in deterioration, which will not achieve the purpose of prolonging freshness.

2. The food stored in the refrigerator should not be too full or too tight, and there should be a little gap between each other to facilitate the convection of cold air. The convection of cold air in the box can reduce the load on the unit and extend the life of the refrigerator, thereby saving electricity.

3. Clean the refrigerator regularly, clean up the ice cubes and hoarfrost inside after it is powered off, and wipe it clean with clean rag stains and water stains to ensure that the food is hygienic and can prolong the service life of the refrigerator.

After the door seal is damaged, deformed, and aging, the refrigerator will be not tightly sealed, and the cold leakage will be serious, which is easy to make the refrigerator work for a long time, the downtime is short, the refrigerator is hot on both sides, and the frost is serious; As a result, the refrigerator is kept fresh, the freezing effect is poor, and the compressor is turned on frequently, which greatly shortens the service life of the refrigerator and leads to an increase in power consumption. The refrigerator door seal is magnetic, easy to absorb dust and fumes in the air, and the door seal has black spots, dirt, mold and is difficult to clean, resulting in unhygienic storage food, which will affect human health.

3. Determine the brand and model of the refrigerator, which is on the refrigerator (for example, Haier-BCD-118M1), measure the length and width of the seal to be replaced, and then select it according to the model of the seal provided by the manufacturer. Due to the long use time of the original refrigerator, there may be a slight error in the size of the sealing strip, generally plus or minus 5mm.
