Hello Guys
Several Months back, I sent an Original GE gasket from our 4 Door unit, overseas to have an Exact Prototype made for review.
I am awaiting receipt of Sample any day now.
Prototype gasket shall have the Barbed nipples being 3 1/4" on Center which simply Push into the Factory spaced door holes.
It would be very costly to fabricate Exact Gaskets for each Monitor Top Unit Style Door, having Molded 45 Degree corners.
Gaskets would come in (4) predetermined length's , be trimmed to 45,s on site, with a dab of sealant at each corner .
Unless, a popular size unit, called for such fabrication demand.
The gasket submitted was Gray.
I,m sure Black can also be supplied.
See attached photos of Holes & Gaskets on our door.
From measuring other units, it appears that the Center To Center door holes, are 3 1/4" ,, Except at the corners .
I would appreciate any feedback on supplying such gaskets, for these units.
Shall post photos, as soon as they arrive.
Many Thanks
Erik     
This is the Factory Door Gasket & Style that is on this unit

This is the Factory Door Gasket & Style that is on this unit
Looks good. Agreed there are too many variants to have factory molded corners for every model! |

Wow you're getting the barbs reproduced too? That's fantastic, I didn't know that could be done

Hello Birkie
Yes, the gaskets will have the Barbed Nipples.
Can you please verify the following, if able:
Factory Door holes are Spaced 3 1/4" on Center.
Door Holes are 15/64 Diameter
Gasket Dimensions - 3/8 W x 3/16 H
Which Color is more suitable , Gray Or Black
Your input would be Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Erik

What durometer are they to be?
To me, black is more desirable.

Hi Erik, I stumbled on this old thread. How was the prototype? Did you ever make any addition gaskets? If something so close to the original is available, I’d love to use it on my CA vs basic weather stripping. Separately, has anyone tried that antique appliance version? I’m not sure how close that is to the original. |
