I have obtained a new freezer door seal (gasket) for a Hoover HCA390K Fridge/Freezer. However, I can not see any way of removing the old seal and fitting the new one. There are no screws; it appears to be glued in, but I don't want to tear the old one out until I am sure I know that I complete the job.

Advice please.

In the end I found that by gently prising around the edge of the seal, and lifting the door liner away at the edges, the old seal which is stuck in, can be removed. Unlike the old seal, the replacement one has a hard plastic lip to go behind the door liner, and could be put in with no sealant, and holds well.

i had a similar problem an was advised tha the only way was to remove the old seal and clean the frame thouroghly then use a good silicone to attach your new rubber ,leave for at least 24hrs to cure and that should solve your problem.


hope this helps you..........
