Avantco Magnetic Door & Drawer Gaskets – Replacement Sizes

Restore reliable sealing performance on compatible Avantco commercial refrigeration equipment with replacement magnetic door and drawer gaskets. These four-sided refrigeration seals help limit warm-air infiltration, reduce unwanted temperature fluctuations, and maintain proper sealing contact around the refrigerated compartment.

This product offers multiple gasket sizes for select Avantco refrigerated preparation tables, undercounter refrigerators, worktop refrigerators, and refrigerated chef-base drawers. Choose the correct manufacturer part number and gasket dimensions for your equipment.

Important: Each size represents a different gasket application. Door and drawer gaskets are not interchangeable. Manufacturer part numbers establish the intended replacement reference, but the actual supplied item's genuine OEM or aftermarket status must be confirmed separately.

Product Function and Benefits

A refrigeration door or drawer gasket provides a flexible sealing interface between the opening and the surrounding cabinet frame. The magnetic insert helps maintain contact with the intended sealing surface.

• Helps limit warm-air infiltration.
• Supports consistent refrigerated cabinet temperatures.
• Helps reduce condensation associated with air leaks.
• Can reduce excessive refrigeration run time caused by poor sealing.
• Replaces worn, cracked, torn, or permanently compressed seals.
• Supports normal commercial refrigeration maintenance.

Common Signs of a Failed Refrigeration Gasket

• Visible tears, cracks, or damaged gasket corners.
• Magnetic seal pulls away from the cabinet frame.
• Gaps remain around a closed door or drawer.
• Excess condensation around the opening.
• Frost accumulation near a freezer seal.
• Cabinet temperature becomes inconsistent.
• Gasket is hardened, twisted, or permanently compressed.
• Mounting dart is damaged or repeatedly pulls loose.

Technician Troubleshooting Guide

Before replacing the gasket, inspect the existing seal and surrounding cabinet hardware. Air leakage may also result from misaligned doors, damaged drawer slides, loose hinges, distorted door panels, or contaminated sealing surfaces.

• Inspect the gasket for splits, wear, and compression damage.
• Check magnetic contact along the full sealing perimeter.
• Verify door and drawer alignment.
• Inspect hinges, drawer slides, and mounting hardware.
• Check retaining channels for damage or debris.
• Confirm the correct gasket profile and dimensions.
• Identify the original manufacturer gasket part number.

Before You Order

1. Locate the equipment model and serial number.
2. Confirm the original gasket manufacturer's part number.
3. Select the correct gasket variant from the available options.
4. Verify whether the equipment requires a door or drawer seal.
5. Compare the published dimensions using a consistent measurement method.
6. Verify the correct snap-in mounting profile.
7. Confirm the color, shape, and sealing configuration.
8. Do not select a gasket based on approximate dimensions alone.

Installation and Maintenance Guidance

Identify the original gasket mounting arrangement before removal. For compatible snap-in profiles, carefully release the original gasket from its retaining channel and clean the channel before installing the replacement.

Position the replacement without overstretching or twisting the gasket. Seat the retaining profile according to the equipment manufacturer's applicable instructions.

After installation, inspect the complete seal perimeter and verify that the door or drawer closes correctly. Check for alignment problems if the gasket does not make consistent contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are Avantco magnetic refrigeration gaskets?

They are flexible four-sided replacement seals used on compatible Avantco commercial refrigeration doors and drawers. The magnetic insert helps maintain contact with the cabinet frame.

2. Are all the available sizes interchangeable?

No. Each manufacturer part number corresponds to a particular gasket design and intended equipment applications.

3. Is 178GSKT15532 a door gasket?

No. Avantco identifies 178GSKT15532 as a magnetic drawer gasket for select refrigerated chef-base configurations.

4. What is the replacement gasket for certain Avantco SCL2 units?

Avantco 178GSKT11759 is listed for designated SCL2 and SCLM2 refrigerated preparation equipment. Confirm the complete equipment model and applicable parts documentation.

5. Can a damaged gasket increase refrigeration run time?

Yes. Air leakage can increase the cooling load and contribute to longer equipment operation. Other refrigeration faults should also be evaluated when temperatures are abnormal.

6. How should I measure a refrigerator door gasket?

Check whether the original manufacturer's specifications use outside-edge dimensions or mounting-dart centerlines. The correct part number and profile are generally more reliable than an approximate size match.

7. Are these gaskets genuine OEM?

The listed numbers identify Avantco replacement parts. Whether the actual items supplied are genuine manufacturer components or OEM-compatible replacements must be confirmed for each variant.

8. How can I confirm the correct gasket before ordering?

Compare the equipment model, serial number, manufacturer part number, gasket profile, measurements, and original mounting method. Contact PartsDirectOnline with photographs and equipment information if further identification assistance is required.
