Replacement Freezer Door Seal

shopbot

I need to replace the seal on the Freezer door of my combined fridge/freezer. The seal isn't forming a barrier and there is clear ice where the seal isn't tight.

I've googled the model name and tried to find spares. The only ones I can find are whole replacement doors which seems expensive and overkill. I've also emailed the manufacturer and had no reply yet.

Are there any other solutions to this? Such as third party generic seals?

The model is a LEC ET350AW.

Thanks

I googled 'white goods spare parts' there are quite a few there, i'm not sure if im looking at the right one but perhaps one of the other sites has the part.
It seems they do sell seals seperate.

We had an old LEC freezer, ordered a new rubber seal for it but it was difficult to actually attach it securely to the door and get a proper air-tight seal, so it went back for a refund.

Some seals can easily be removed and replaced, others seem to be glued in. It's the latter type that can cause issues during replacement.

Thanks for the link. No luck with one for my model but on another similar site found a universal one which you cut to size. However in the description they say it is a last resort option.

Thanks - this was a cheaper model so I suspect it might be glued in. I'll take a better look tomorrow and see how easily the current one might come off.
