How to repair a fridge seal?

Salad_2

I've got an old fridge, and the door seal is worn and has a few tears. It's not possible to buy a new seal only a new door, so I'd like to try and repair it.

Does anyone have a good method? Is there any kind of glue or rubber solution that would be flexible and hard wearing enough?

I believe it depends on the make/type.

Alot of modern ones involve buying a new door which can be pricey.

Others are fixed and can be replaced.

I guess the main proglem would be getting hold of the right seal though.

I doubt a repair would work that well, these things need to be well sealed for the heat exchanger to work efficiently.

Not sure if it will fit but this may be woth a look

What's the make and model number?

Also can you post an image of the inside of the door?

Its a 3 year old post and the post above yours is rather SPAM-like too.

I, too now find myself looking for a seal for a built in Fridage. Fridge is a Bosch.

I have looked on espares and the part this has very ppor reviews. 1 out of 5 and arrives flat. So looking for alternatives.

Can anyone advise?
