A leaking cooler door is not always “just the gasket.” Use this quick checklist before you reorder.
Common symptoms
- Frost buildup near the door edge
- Door pops open or will not stay closed
- Warm spots or high energy use
- Visible cracks, tears, or flattened magnets
What to check
- Gasket condition — cracked, hard, or missing sections need replacement.
- Hinges & alignment — sagging doors prevent a full seal; see hinges.
- Latches & closers — weak pull-in hardware; see latch vs handle and hardware guide.
- Door sweep — under-door drafts on walk-ins; shop door sweeps.
