Viking Refrigerator Door Gasket Failure
A worn, torn, or deformed door gasket on a Viking refrigerator or freezer door allows warm, humid room air to infiltrate the cabinet continuously. Signs of gasket failure include the compressor running almost continuously, higher-than-set internal temperatures, visible condensation or frost inside the cabinet near the door, and visible gaps or tears in the rubber gasket material.
What Causes the Door Gasket Failure Error?
Door gaskets naturally harden, flatten, or tear over years of use, losing their ability to create an airtight seal.
The gasket has been torn or cut by contact with sharp objects or improper cleaning methods.
Basic Steps Before Calling a Technician
-
01Paper Test
Close the refrigerator door on a sheet of paper. If the paper slides out easily at any point around the door perimeter, the gasket seal is inadequate at that location.
When to Call a Technician
Door gasket replacement with a genuine Viking OEM gasket is recommended for a correct fit and seal.
