I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to remove the rubber door seal on my Electrolux RM3500 3 way caravan fridge, I have taken the door off, removed every damn screw I can see on it, removed the front panel and the insulation material but cannot see what holds the lip of the seal to the inner panel of the door...before I reach for the jigsaw...or angle grinder, or both, can anyone help!!!??
Thanks,
Paul.

Bilbo, thanks for that...thats what it looks like to me also but when I gingerly tug on the seal it feels as if it will tear before it comes away, I have had a look at newer Electoluxes (
mine is a few years old) and their seals are retained by screws securing the inside door panel (bottle storage) to the door prope,
mine dosent seem to have any screws!!!

Ok....I have figured out how the seal is removed and replaced....the door is manufactured with the seal sandwiched between the outer and inner skins, it is a tedious but possible chore of seprating the two, newer versions are screwed in place as
mine now will be.
It was inconceivable that one would simply throw away a good door rather then replace the seal, hence my reason for posting this message the second time, one would be foolish to throw the door away without getting second opinions.
David AU, I appreciate the fact that you responded to my posting but sometimes it is best to acknowledge that what you are saying is an opinion only.
Thank you for all who may have replied.
