1. Process of replacing the rubber edges of refrigerators

Nowadays, whether it is Panasonic or Haier, the quality of brand commercial refrigerators is very good, so the only thing users need to pay attention to in daily use is to clean and replace the sealant edges. Let’s share the process of replacing the sealant edge of the refrigerator by yourself, so that users can use it as a reference when replacing it.

(1) Before replacing the rubber edge of the refrigerator, turn off the power first, clean the work area, and then prepare the tools and the new rubber edge that needs to be replaced.

(2) Use a tool to gently pry up the old rubber edge. If it is a severely weathered rubber edge, you can only pry it off section by section. For the rubber edge that has not yet been weathered, you can slowly remove the entire rubber edge from the door frame. Come down, you need to be patient and operate slowly.

(3) Remove the adhesive edge on the door frame and then clean the working area. Take this opportunity to clean the refrigerator door thoroughly, and then align the new adhesive edge where it needs to be pasted.

(4) Slowly press the new adhesive edge into the slot of the door frame and compact it slowly. If there is a built-in adhesive, peel off the adhesive cover first and then press it into the slot of the door frame.

(5) After fixing the adhesive edge, carefully check whether there are any gaps. Close the refrigerator door to check its air tightness. Make sure it is correct before turning on the power.

2. How to choose rubber edges for refrigerators

After understanding the process of replacing the rubber edges of the refrigerator, let’s add the process of selecting the rubber edges of the refrigerator. If we can buy the original rubber edges, we will directly choose the original product. Otherwise, we must pay attention to the material and size of the rubber edges purchased. Specific selection techniques are as follows.

(1) When choosing the rubber edge of the refrigerator, first look at the material. Good materials are all rubber or silicone. Check its durability and elasticity, and then measure the specifications.
