The freezer compartment on our Norcold N611 refrigerator in our 2009 trailer ices up soon after we defrost it.(We winter in Florida from January thru April.) I thought about getting a new gasket. But Norcold doesn't sell it; in fact, it no longer sells a new door for this refrigerator! I was wondering if others have faced this problem and have found a way to supplement the existing gasket so as to achieve an air-tight seal when the freezer door is closed. If so, what product did you use? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
If the existing door seal/gasket (the one that seals the door to the freezer frame when closed) is still intact, get a roll of black electrical tape, and carefully cover the existing gasket/seal with a full length strip along all 4 existing sides. Put the sticky side of the tape to the gasket, not the door frame. Avoid overlapping at the corners, if possible, but try to make them meet as closely as possible at right angles.
I did the dollar bill test and it seemed a little too easy to pull, so I added a layer of black electrical tape over the existing gasket, and now it seems to seal better.
