This genuine Samsung freezer door gasket (DA97-12522N) is essential for maintaining the seal around your refrigerator's freezer door. Over time, a worn or damaged gasket may cause warm air to enter, impacting your appliance's efficiency. If you notice gaps or reduced cooling performance, consider replacing the gasket. When installing, smooth out any folds or creases by soaking it in warm water or using a hair dryer on low heat. Before you begin, store perishable foods safely as the door will be open during the repair. Confirm your model number for compatibility before purchasing.
