Hi! I'm Helen from eSpares. In this video, I will be changing the door seal on a fridge-freezer. Today, we are using an AEG Santo fridge-freezer but the process will be very similar for most modern brands of appliance.

Safety first, always make sure you disconnect the appliance from the mains before you start working on it. Always buy genuine spare parts where you can and to make sure you're buying the correct part for your appliance, you'll need the model number. In the fridge, this can generally be found at the bottom of the fridge by the salad bin.

Now this freezer door seal has become damaged and it's not a fitting flush when the door is closed. That is causing the freezer to frost up regularly, and obviously wasting energy. On this particular model, the original is sealed to the door and needs to be cut away. I'm using a Stanley knife to cut along the top first, and then along the sides, and finally the bottom edge.

In this case, the new seal fits differently to the old one. We are going to be fitting this flange into this groove all the way around the door. Starting at the top corner, just press the new seal into place, press firmly all the way along the top and when the top edge is in place, I will just need to do the same along the other three sides. There we go as good as new.

Remember, this part unseals for all major brands of fridge-freezer, can be found at the eSpares.co.uk website, along with spare parts for over 500 brands of home and garden appliance. Thanks for watching.
