Avantco: How to Replace Door Gaskets

Here’s how to change a door gasket on Avantco Refrigeration products.

Remove the old gasket starting at a corner and pull it out of the recessed channel one side at a time. To insert a new gasket, start at a corner and snap the dart connector into the recessed channel, working your way around the perimeter of the door.

Be sure the gasket has a snug fit and closes properly against the cabinet. These steps will ensure your unit is running at peak performance.

Surprisingly good results with the avantco refrigeration units. Not complains here. I have several of these units and I love them. You can fit a lot of pans in all drawers. For small operations I bet 1 is enough for your whole line.
