Product Overview

OEM Part Details Manufacturer: Beverage-Air OEM Part Number: 712-013C-16 Manufacturer Part Number: 712-013C-16 SKU: PD-727-626 Part Type: Magnetic Door Gasket OEM Status: VERIFIED Product Overview The Beverage-Air 712-013C-16 magnetic door gasket creates the door seal that helps a commercial refrigerated cabinet stay closed against unwanted warm-air entry. Installed around the door perimeter, this black gasket provides the sealing surface between the door and cabinet opening. Its magnetic sealing action helps the door close securely and maintain even contact around the frame when the door, hinges, latch, and gasket profile are in proper condition. A worn, torn, hardened, or compressed gasket can allow cabinet air leakage that places added demand on the refrigeration system. Moisture near the door opening, frost buildup, inconsistent cabinet temperature, and a door that does not stay tightly sealed can all point to a gasket or door-alignment issue that deserves attention. Replacing a damaged door gasket can help restore a cleaner, more consistent seal at the cabinet opening. This Beverage-Air OEM part is identified by manufacturer part number 712-013C-16. Comparing that number with the original component, along with the gasket profile, door arrangement, equipment model, and serial number, helps reduce wrong-part orders. Inspect the surrounding door hardware as well, since hinge wear, latch condition, or a damaged gasket retainer can prevent a new gasket from sealing as intended.

Product Function

Product Function This magnetic door gasket serves as the flexible sealing component around a Beverage-Air refrigeration door. When the door closes, the gasket compresses against the cabinet opening and its magnetic section helps hold the door in a sealed position. That seal helps limit the movement of warmer ambient air and moisture into the refrigerated space. Maintaining a sound door seal supports normal cabinet operation by helping preserve the controlled environment behind the door. The gasket also cushions the contact area between the door and cabinet frame during routine opening and closing. Because it is a wear-related door component, its condition should be reviewed whenever there are visible tears, flattened sealing areas, poor door closure, frost near the opening, or signs of moisture around the door perimeter.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement? Beverage-Air OEM part number 712-013C-16 provides a reliable identification point when replacing the original magnetic door gasket. Matching the manufacturer part number helps distinguish this gasket from visually similar door seals that may use a different profile, mounting arrangement, or door application. Using the verified OEM number alongside a comparison of the original component supports a more confident order and helps avoid delays caused by selecting the wrong gasket.

How This Part Works

How This Part Works A refrigeration door gasket works by creating continuous contact around the cabinet opening when the door is shut. The flexible gasket body conforms to the mating surface while the magnetic portion assists with door closure and helps maintain contact along the perimeter. When the seal is even and the door is properly aligned, the gasket helps reduce air exchange between the refrigerated cabinet and the surrounding room. Door sealing depends on more than the gasket alone. A gasket can appear intact yet still seal poorly if it has lost compression, if the door sits out of alignment, or if the hinge, latch, closer, or gasket retainer is worn or damaged. Food residue, debris, and distortion at the contact surface can also interfere with a consistent seal. Reviewing the entire door assembly helps identify whether the gasket is the primary concern or one part of a broader door-closing issue.

Technician Service Tip

Technician Service Tip Before replacing the gasket, compare the original part with the new Beverage-Air 712-013C-16 gasket and inspect the complete door perimeter for uneven compression, tears, distortion, or debris. Check hinge and latch condition as well; a door that is not aligned correctly may keep even a new magnetic gasket from making consistent contact with the cabinet opening.

Common Failure Symptoms

• Visible tears, splits, or missing sections in the door gasket may indicate that the seal should be inspected.
• A door that does not remain firmly closed may indicate reduced magnetic sealing or a door-alignment concern.
• Flattened, hardened, or permanently compressed gasket areas can indicate loss of sealing contact.
• Moisture or condensation around the door opening may indicate cabinet air leakage.
• Frost near the door perimeter may indicate that warm, humid air is entering through an uneven seal.
• Cabinet temperature changes near the door area can indicate a gasket, hinge, latch, or door-closing issue.
• Light visible around portions of a closed door may indicate incomplete gasket contact and should be inspected.
• A gasket that pulls away from its mounting area may indicate damage to the gasket or its retainer.
• Frequent refrigeration system run time can indicate several causes, including possible door air leakage.
• Food residue or debris trapped along the gasket contact area can interfere with closure and should be cleaned and inspected.

Commercial Applications

Commercial Applications This Beverage-Air magnetic door gasket is used in commercial refrigeration equipment where a door requires a dependable perimeter seal. Commercial refrigeration door sealing is important in restaurant kitchens, bars, foodservice operations, commercial kitchens, and refrigeration service environments because doors are opened repeatedly throughout the day. A damaged seal can contribute to moisture entry and loss of conditioned cabinet air around the door opening. Equipment model fitment is not stated here. Confirm the Beverage-Air equipment model and serial number, then compare the original gasket and verified part number 712-013C-16 before ordering. This approach is especially important when equipment has similar-looking doors or when the original gasket has been removed, altered, or previously replaced.

Before You Order

• Match Beverage-Air OEM part number 712-013C-16 to the original component whenever possible.
• Confirm the equipment manufacturer is Beverage-Air.
• Verify the equipment model and serial number from the data plate.
• Compare the original gasket profile with the replacement gasket before ordering.
• Review the product image against the original black magnetic door gasket.
• Inspect the full door perimeter for the location and orientation of the existing gasket.
• Check whether the original gasket is torn, compressed, hardened, or pulling away from its mounting area.
• Inspect the gasket retainer or track for damage, distortion, or debris that could affect gasket seating.
• Check door hinges, latch components, and door alignment for conditions that may affect the seal.
• Confirm that the replacement purpose is a magnetic door gasket and not another door hardware component.

Related Components

• Door hinges: Worn or loose hinges can allow the door to sag, preventing even gasket compression around the cabinet opening.
• Door latch: A latch that does not pull the door into the proper closed position can contribute to poor gasket contact.
• Door closer: Where used, a closer should be inspected because weak or inconsistent closing action can leave the gasket partially unsealed.
• Gasket retainer or track: Damage, debris, or distortion in the retainer can keep the gasket from sitting correctly around the door perimeter.
• Door frame and contact surface: Inspect for dirt, damage, or uneven areas that may interfere with a continuous magnetic seal.
