BALLY Push In Magnetic Door Gasket

OEM Part Details

• OEM Number: 017402
• OEM Status: VERIFIED
• MPN: 017402
• SKU: 016582
• Part Type: Door Gasket

Product Overview

OEM number 017402 identifies a push-in magnetic door gasket used on commercial refrigeration equipment. This gasket forms the sealing surface around the door opening, helping the closed door make consistent contact with the cabinet frame. Its push-in edge is made to seat in the matching door channel, while the magnetic sealing section helps the door stay in contact around the perimeter during normal operation. A sound door seal is important to cabinet operation. When a gasket is torn, flattened, distorted, or no longer seated correctly, warmer moisture-laden air may enter through gaps around the door. That air movement can contribute to condensation, frost near the opening, and added refrigeration run time while the cabinet works to maintain temperature. Correct replacement selection depends on more than the overall appearance of the gasket. Compare OEM number 017402 with the removed component and examine the push-in mounting edge, magnetic sealing area, and full gasket profile. Also inspect the door channel, cabinet-frame contact surface, hinges, latch, and door alignment. A properly identified gasket can restore the intended sealing surface, but continuous perimeter contact also depends on the condition and closing path of the complete door assembly.

Product Function

The 017402 push-in magnetic door gasket seals the space between a commercial refrigeration equipment door and the cabinet frame. When the door closes, the flexible gasket body compresses against the frame to reduce air movement through the door opening. The magnetic section supports door-to-frame contact around the sealing perimeter. Its push-in mounting edge fits into the corresponding door-side channel, holding the gasket in position as the door opens and closes. Proper fit is important because the mounting profile and sealing shape must match the original component. A gasket that is damaged, hardened, distorted, incorrectly profiled, or not fully seated may leave gaps that affect compression and reduce the effectiveness of the door seal.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

OEM part number 017402 provides a reliable identification point when selecting this replacement door gasket. Matching the documented part number with the removed gasket helps reduce the risk of ordering a seal with the wrong mounting profile or magnetic arrangement. Compare the original component and door details before purchase, particularly where the gasket seats into the door channel and where it contacts the cabinet frame.

How This Part Works

Door sealing begins when the door closes against the cabinet frame. The gasket contacts the frame around the opening, and its flexible body compresses to help close off small spaces where air could pass between the cabinet and the surrounding area. The magnetic portion helps maintain contact along the door edge while still allowing routine opening and closing. For OEM number 017402, the push-in edge seats into the matching channel in the door assembly. Even seating keeps the gasket aligned so its sealing surface can meet the cabinet frame consistently. Contact should extend around the full perimeter rather than concentrating at only a few points. Gasket performance is affected by the surrounding door hardware as well. A clean, undamaged channel helps the mounting edge remain secure, while an aligned door helps the gasket compress evenly. If a portion of the gasket remains separated from the frame, inspect the seating of the gasket along with the door alignment, hinges, latch, closer, and cabinet-frame contact surface.

Technician Service Tip

Before replacing a door gasket, inspect the door channel for debris, damage, or sections where the original gasket has pulled loose. Also evaluate door alignment and latch or closer action, since uneven door contact can resemble a gasket problem or shorten gasket life.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Tears, splits, loose corners, or worn areas in the gasket material may indicate that the door seal needs inspection.
• A gasket edge that pulls out of the door channel can indicate incomplete seating, distortion, or damage to the mounting area.
• Hard, flattened, or permanently compressed sections may indicate reduced gasket contact against the cabinet frame.
• Visible openings around part of a closed door may indicate a gasket compression concern or a door-alignment issue.
• Frost collecting near the door perimeter can indicate that the sealing area and related door components should be evaluated.
• Condensation or moisture around the door opening may indicate air movement through a gap in the sealing surface.
• Uneven contact around the cabinet frame may indicate a distorted gasket, hinge wear, latch condition, or an uneven door closing path.
• A door that does not remain closed without unusual pressure may indicate that the gasket, hinges, latch, or closer requires inspection.
• Reduced contact along one section of the door may indicate damage or deformation in the magnetic sealing area.
• Sealing concerns that continue after gasket replacement can indicate an issue with the door channel, cabinet frame, hinges, latch, closer, or door alignment.

Commercial Applications

This push-in magnetic door gasket is intended for commercial refrigeration equipment door service where OEM part number 017402 is specified. It is relevant to commercial equipment service work involving refrigeration cabinet doors and other refrigerated door assemblies that use the corresponding gasket arrangement. Restaurant maintenance teams, foodservice equipment technicians, and commercial refrigeration service providers may inspect door gaskets when addressing poor closure, air leakage, moisture, frost, or worn sealing surfaces. Equipment-specific fitment is not supplied here. Confirm the equipment data plate, OEM part number, and the removed gasket profile before ordering. The original component should be compared for its push-in mounting edge, magnetic sealing area, perimeter shape, and door-side seating arrangement.

Before You Order

• Match OEM part number 017402 to the documented requirement for the equipment.
• Compare the removed gasket with the product image and listed push-in magnetic door gasket description.
• Confirm the equipment model and serial number from the equipment data plate.
• Inspect the original gasket mounting edge and confirm that it uses the same push-in style arrangement.
• Compare the gasket profile and magnetic sealing area with the original component.
• Confirm how the existing gasket seats in the door channel or retainer before ordering.
• Inspect the door hinges, latch, and closer for alignment or closure concerns that may affect the new gasket.
• Check the door frame and gasket contact surface for damage, debris, frost, or irregular contact areas.
• Do not rely on dimensions unless they are confirmed from reliable equipment documentation or the original component.
• Use SKU 016582 as an additional ordering reference where applicable.

Related Components

• Door hinges should be inspected because sagging or loose hinges can prevent even gasket compression around the door perimeter.
• The door latch should be inspected because incomplete latch engagement can leave gaps at the sealing surface.
• A door closer should be inspected where present because weak or inconsistent closing action can affect gasket contact.
• The gasket retainer or door channel should be inspected for damage, debris, or loose areas that can prevent a push-in gasket from seating correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OEM part number 017402?

OEM part number 017402 identifies this push-in magnetic door gasket for commercial refrigeration equipment door service.

What does a push-in magnetic door gasket do?

It seals the gap between a closed refrigeration door and the cabinet frame. The push-in edge seats in the door channel, while the magnetic section helps maintain contact at the sealing surface.

How should I confirm this door gasket before ordering?

Match OEM number 017402, compare the removed gasket profile and push-in mounting edge, and confirm the equipment model and serial number from the data plate.

Can a damaged door gasket contribute to frost or moisture near the door?

It may. A torn, flattened, loose, or poorly seated gasket can allow air movement through the door opening. Inspect the gasket, door alignment, and sealing surface together.

Should door hinges and the latch be inspected when replacing a gasket?

Yes. Hinge alignment, latch engagement, and closer action can affect how evenly the door compresses against the gasket and cabinet frame.

Are dimensions provided for OEM 017402?

No dimensions are supplied here. Compare the original component and use reliable equipment documentation when dimensional confirmation is needed.
