I think Doug is saying the magnets in the refrigerator frame attract and hold the gasket when the door is closed. So wait until the seal pulls back and then open the door and see if you can stick paper clips all the way around the sealing surface. If the clips fall off Norcold might offer to replace your refrigerator. If not the only cost to you is a box of paper clips.
Thanks for clarification, but IT IS NOT THE MAGNETS, The gasket becomes visibly deformed, shrinking away from the seal by over 1/8" over a 18" length. You can see how it is not as thick as need be to meet the fridge sil.
Why do people Argue??????? Just TRY the paper clip test. The seal is held in place by magnets. NOT just the force of the closed door. IF the magnets are not installed correctly or missing the seal will deform like you stated. Doug (41 years as a RV tech).
