DA97-05253Y Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket – Fix Your Fridge That's Not Sealing, Has Frost Buildup, or Runs Constantly

The essential fix for a Samsung refrigerator with a door that won't seal properly, has visible gaps in the seal, causes frost buildup inside, runs constantly, or has condensation forming on the door or inside the compartment. The door gasket is the flexible rubber seal with embedded magnets that runs around the perimeter of the refrigerator door — it creates an airtight barrier between the cold interior and warm room air. When the gasket becomes worn, cracked, torn, warped, or loses its magnetic strength, warm air leaks into the refrigerator, forcing the compressor to run constantly to maintain temperature. This leads to higher energy bills, frost buildup on the evaporator or back wall, inconsistent temperatures, spoiled food, and condensation or sweating on the door. If you can slip a dollar bill between the door and cabinet and pull it out easily with the door closed, the gasket has lost its seal and needs replacement. This genuine OEM Samsung part directly replaces DA97-05253X, DA97-05253W, and DA97-05253V. Fits Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators. Easy 15–20 minute DIY repair that restores a tight seal and proper cooling efficiency.
