DA97-15249D - Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket

This Samsung Refrigerator Door Gasket (DA97-15249D) is a genuine Samsung part specifically designed for your Samsung refrigerator. Also known as the "assembly gasket-middle," this part utilizes a magnetic system to ensure an airtight seal when the refrigerator door is closed, replacing the need for mechanical door latches. The gasket is made from flexible rubber or silicone and is embedded with magnets around its perimeter. When the door shuts, these magnets are attracted to corresponding magnets on the refrigerator's cabinet, creating a tight seal that prevents cold air from escaping and warm, humid air from entering. This magnetic attraction, combined with the elasticity of the gasket material, provides an efficient air barrier that plays a crucial role in maintaining your appliance's desired interior temperatures. Symptoms that this part may need replacing include an inability to maintain consistent internal temperatures, visible damage or wear to the gasket, or if the door doesn't close as tightly as it should. Before purchasing, verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with the DA97-15249D door gasket.
