I’ve been searching high and low online and can’t seem to find a replacement door gasket for my little garage fridge.

Sanyo SR-366w

Any tips?

Quick search online shows the gaskets as discontinued, and previously listed at 25 bucks.
Ebay shows several used fridges of similar size at the same or similar price as the gasket was listed.

Seems silly to buy a new fridge
For a door gasket

you can get gaskets made or buy the materials at any refrigeration supply house you will need the outside dimensions of the gasket and type

Ok thanks

I took the gasket off and cleaned it well in the kitchen sink with some hot water

Reinstalled and it seems to fit a little better
It’s almost perfect now that I gave the door a little sideways tweak.

LoL

Now to let this thing thaw for a while....

That leaking gasket was drawing in air from the top

Looks like the same stuff is in my basement, except I only have one good pair of sticks left.

Tommy,
Concerning sticks,

A while back I started using Vater after my buddy (Who is sponsored)
Gave me a couple pair.

He also told me a little secret
About their “goodwood” line.

They are basically the same stick as the regular 5B but were rejected for visual appearance.

Supposedly they are the identical sticks otherwise.

And after using them for a while I believe this is true
I see absolutely no difference between them.

Besides about $90 a dozen for the VH5BN (vater brand)

VS

$20 a dozen for the GW5BN (goodwood)

.
