A gasket is usually an important part of a freezer. It is a plastic or a rubber seal attached to the borders of the door.

But, once the commercial freezer gaskets start to fail, there would be a leakage that makes your electric payment increase.

When you have noticed that your unit does not function properly, or not getting cold, then it is time to check the mechanical seal and repair it. But, if it seems to be totally damaged, then you must replace it as soon as possible.

You may check the situation of your unit by placing your fingers inside the refrigerator. If you feel the absence of coldness, then you should check the frames. Once the air is blocked, it means that there is a certain leakage.
