Hi All
I had to turn up our fridge at
home to make things colder - a bit of warm weather and constant opening was making things warm
While I was about it I cleaned the radiator and the seals, but was wondering how you can tell if the seals need to be replaced or not?
The seals seem to be ok and hold
well, but the fridge is about 15 years old and I was wondering if they should be replaced at a certain age? There are no cracks in them and the magnets seem to be doing a good job in most areas, but should they be replaced? Be nice to know what people do generally.
I suppose you could apply this to Engels and alike, for older and harder fridge seals.
Thanks

Where in Oz are you? Seals are cheap enough to replace, there's a local guy here on the
Gold Coast that does great work, but not much good to you if you're in
Perth..... I don't think he travels that far for work... ;-))
Have a look in your yellow pages, you'll find someone that does 'em, and give them the make and model number of the fridge over the phone and they can usually quote a price on
the spot.
Cheers
Brian
