Arctic Air Magnetic Gasket – Dart Mount & Snap-In OEM Door Seals (Cooler & Freezer Models)

OEM Part Details

• OEM Number: 69236
• OEM Status: VERIFIED
• MPN: 69236
• SKU: 67067
• Part Type: Door Gasket

Product Overview

OEM part number 69236 is a magnetic door gasket with a dart-mount, snap-in fastening profile for commercial refrigeration equipment. This door seal sits around the door perimeter and helps the door close against the cabinet opening with consistent compression. Its magnetic sealing surface helps hold the door in position while the gasket profile helps limit air leakage at the cabinet edge. A door gasket is a wear-related component because it is compressed each time the door is opened and closed. Over time, tears, hardened areas, flattened sections, loose corners, or a distorted profile can reduce the quality of the seal. When the door does not seal evenly, outside air and moisture can enter the cabinet, which may contribute to frost, condensation, excess refrigeration run time, or unstable cabinet conditions. This OEM magnetic door gasket is identified by part number 69236. The dart-mount and snap-in profile are important ordering details because gasket profiles are not interchangeable simply because two seals have a similar overall shape. Compare the removed gasket, the door channel, the mounting edge, and the product image before ordering. A correct replacement helps restore proper door sealing and supports dependable day-to-day commercial refrigeration operation.

Product Function

This door gasket creates the sealing contact between a refrigeration door and the cabinet frame. The magnetic portion helps the door remain drawn toward the cabinet when it is closed, while the dart-mount edge is intended to secure the gasket in the appropriate door channel. Proper gasket compression helps reduce cabinet air leakage around the door opening. A gasket in good condition supports the refrigeration system by helping keep warmer, moisture-laden air outside the cabinet. It does not cool the cabinet by itself, but a poor seal can make it harder for refrigeration components to maintain expected operating conditions. Part number 69236 should be selected only after the original gasket profile and mounting arrangement have been compared.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

This genuine OEM door gasket is identified by OEM part number 69236. Using the verified part number helps reduce wrong-part orders when a replacement is needed for a worn or damaged door seal. The original component should still be compared carefully for gasket profile, dart-mount edge, corner shape, and door-channel engagement. Correct identification matters because a gasket that appears similar may not seat properly or provide even compression around the door.

How This Part Works

The gasket mounts around the perimeter of the door using its dart-mount, snap-in edge. Once seated in the door channel, the flexible gasket body meets the cabinet frame as the door closes. The magnetic portion helps draw the sealing surfaces together, while the gasket material compresses to close small gaps between the door and cabinet opening. For the seal to work consistently, the gasket must sit fully in its channel and remain free of major tears, folds, hardened sections, or loose corners. Door alignment also affects sealing performance. A gasket may be in good condition but still show uneven contact if the door hinges, latch, closer, or door frame are out of position. Inspecting the complete door assembly helps identify whether the gasket alone is responsible for a sealing concern.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacing the gasket, inspect the door channel for debris, damage, or areas where the mounting edge has pulled loose. Also evaluate door alignment and latch or hinge condition. A new gasket can only seal evenly when the door closes squarely against the cabinet frame and the dart-mount edge is seated consistently around the full perimeter.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Torn, split, or missing gasket material may indicate that the door seal should be inspected.
• Flattened areas that no longer compress evenly can indicate gasket wear.
• A door that does not stay closed firmly may indicate a sealing, hinge, latch, or alignment concern.
• Visible gaps between the door gasket and cabinet frame may indicate poor gasket seating or door misalignment.
• Moisture or condensation near the door opening can indicate cabinet air leakage.
• Frost developing around the door perimeter may indicate that warm, humid air is entering through an uneven seal.
• A gasket corner that pulls away from the door channel should be inspected for mounting damage or profile mismatch.
• Cabinet conditions that are difficult to maintain may indicate a door-sealing concern among other refrigeration issues.
• A door that requires extra pressure to close may indicate that the gasket, hinges, latch, or door frame needs evaluation.
• Cracked, hardened, warped, or permanently compressed gasket sections can indicate the need for replacement.

Commercial Applications

This magnetic door gasket is used in commercial refrigeration service where maintaining a reliable door seal is important to cabinet operation. Appropriate service environments can include restaurant refrigeration maintenance, foodservice equipment repair, commercial kitchen service, and refrigeration service work. The verified application information supports commercial refrigeration use, but specific equipment fitment is not supplied. Confirm the equipment data plate, original component, gasket profile, dart-mount edge, and door-channel arrangement before ordering. Careful comparison is especially important for door gaskets because similar-looking seals may use different mounting profiles, corner arrangements, or compression surfaces.

Before You Order

• Match OEM part number 69236 to the original component or approved equipment documentation.
• Compare the removed gasket's overall profile with the replacement product image.
• Confirm that the original gasket uses a dart-mount, snap-in mounting edge.
• Inspect the door channel to confirm that the mounting arrangement matches the original gasket.
• Compare the corner shape and orientation of the removed gasket before placing an order.
• Confirm the equipment data plate and serial number against available service information.
• Inspect the door frame for damage, distortion, or buildup that could affect gasket contact.
• Check hinge, latch, and closer condition because door misalignment can prevent even gasket compression.
• Do not rely on overall appearance alone; similar magnetic gaskets can have different sealing and mounting profiles.
• Review all available product identification details, including OEM number 69236, MPN 69236, and SKU 67067.

Related Components

• Door hinges should be inspected because worn or loose hinges can allow the door to sag and create uneven gasket contact.
• Door latch components should be inspected because a latch that does not pull the door into position can leave gaps at the gasket.
• Door closer components should be evaluated where used because incomplete door closure can prevent the magnetic gasket from sealing evenly.
• The gasket retainer or door channel should be inspected for debris, damage, or loose areas that may keep the dart-mount edge from seating fully.
• The door frame and strike area should be checked for distortion or damage that may affect compression around the door perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OEM part number 69236?

OEM part number 69236 identifies this magnetic door gasket with a dart-mount, snap-in fastening profile.

What does a magnetic door gasket do?

A magnetic door gasket helps seal the space between the refrigeration door and cabinet frame. It helps limit air leakage and supports consistent door closure.

How do I confirm this door gasket is the correct one?

Match OEM part number 69236 when available, then compare the original gasket profile, dart-mount edge, corner arrangement, door channel, and equipment data plate.

Can a damaged gasket affect cabinet operation?

Yes. A torn, flattened, hardened, or poorly seated gasket can allow air and moisture to enter around the door opening, which may contribute to frost, condensation, or unstable cabinet conditions.

Why should hinges and latches be inspected with a door gasket?

Door hinges, latches, and closers affect how squarely the door meets the cabinet frame. Misalignment can prevent even compression even when the gasket is in good condition.

Are dimensions provided for OEM 69236?

Dimensions are not supplied in the verified product information. Compare the original component and mounting profile rather than ordering by estimated size.
