Product Overview

Glastender OEM 06003713 is a magnetic dart-mount door gasket used to restore the door seal on supported commercial refrigeration equipment. This gasket forms the compressible barrier around the door opening, helping the door close against the cabinet face and limit cold-air loss. A sound door seal matters because even a small gap can allow warmer, moisture-laden air into the cabinet, adding unnecessary demand to the refrigeration system and affecting the condition around the door opening. As a wear-related door component, a gasket can lose compression, tear, split, pull away from its mounting channel, or become misshapen over time. Replacing a worn seal with the correctly identified Glastender part helps service professionals address door-sealing concerns without relying on an unverified substitute. The magnetic construction supports consistent door closure, while the dart-mount design is intended for the matching door gasket channel. Use the manufacturer part number, compare the removed gasket, and inspect the door assembly before ordering to reduce the chance of selecting the wrong seal profile or mounting style.

Product Function

This Glastender door gasket is responsible for sealing the space between the refrigeration door and cabinet when the door is closed. Its magnetic sealing area helps the door remain seated, and its dart-mount edge holds the gasket in the appropriate door channel. When the gasket is intact and properly positioned, it helps limit cabinet air leakage around the door perimeter. That supports normal commercial refrigeration operation by reducing the entry of warm air and moisture each time the door closes. Because gasket condition is closely connected to door alignment and closure, the surrounding hinges, latch, closer, and mounting channel should also be inspected when a seal concern is present.

Why Choose a Genuine OEM Replacement?

Genuine Glastender OEM part 06003713 provides a reliable identification point when replacing this magnetic dart-mount door gasket. Matching the manufacturer part number to the original component helps distinguish this gasket from visually similar door seals that may use a different profile, mounting edge, or magnetic arrangement. Correct identification is especially important with door gaskets because a seal that appears close can still sit incorrectly in the channel or fail to contact the cabinet face evenly. Using the verified OEM number, reviewing the product image, and comparing the removed component can help reduce wrong-part orders and support a more confident commercial equipment service repair.

How This Part Works

The gasket installs around the door perimeter, with its dart-style mounting edge seated in the corresponding door channel. Once the door is closed, the gasket compresses against the cabinet opening to create a continuous seal. The magnetic portion helps hold the door in its closed position and supports even contact around the perimeter. This contact is important because gaps caused by a torn gasket, flattened sealing surface, displaced mounting edge, or misaligned door can allow outside air to enter the refrigerated space. A gasket alone cannot correct every sealing problem. Door sag, worn hinges, latch concerns, a damaged door channel, or an obstruction at the cabinet face can prevent full contact even when the gasket itself is in good condition. For that reason, the gasket profile, channel engagement, door position, and closure condition should be evaluated together during commercial refrigeration service.

Technician Service Tip

Before removing the original gasket, compare its dart-mount edge, corner shape, magnetic sealing area, and overall door-perimeter layout with the replacement. Inspect the door channel for debris, damage, or sections that may not retain the gasket securely. Also check that the door closes evenly and that hinge or latch wear is not contributing to an uneven seal.

Common Failure Symptoms

• A torn, split, or visibly damaged gasket may indicate that the door seal should be inspected.
• A door that does not remain evenly closed may indicate gasket compression loss or a door-alignment concern.
• Frost developing near the door opening can indicate air leakage around the gasket.
• Moisture or condensation around the cabinet door perimeter may indicate an incomplete seal.
• Flattened or hardened gasket sections can indicate reduced compression against the cabinet face.
• A gasket pulling away from the door channel may indicate damage or wear at the dart-mount edge or mounting channel.
• Uneven contact around one side or corner of the door may indicate a displaced gasket, hinge wear, or latch condition that should be inspected.
• Repeated cabinet air leakage concerns may indicate that the gasket, door alignment, latch, and cabinet contact surface need evaluation together.

Commercial Applications

This Glastender magnetic dart-mount door gasket is identified for commercial refrigeration equipment and is relevant to restaurant service, foodservice maintenance, and commercial kitchen repair where door sealing is part of routine equipment upkeep. Door gaskets are commonly replaced when normal wear affects compression, the sealing surface becomes damaged, or the mounting edge no longer remains properly seated. A properly identified replacement gasket helps technicians and facility teams maintain the door assembly as part of broader refrigeration equipment care. Equipment-specific fitment is not stated here, so the original gasket, manufacturer part number, equipment data plate, and serial number should be reviewed before purchase.

Before You Order

• Match Glastender OEM part number 06003713 to the original component or approved equipment documentation.
• Compare the removed gasket with the product image, including the magnetic sealing area and dart-mount edge.
• Confirm that the replacement is needed for a commercial refrigeration door gasket application.
• Review the equipment data plate and serial number before ordering when equipment-specific fitment is required.
• Inspect the original gasket profile and corner layout rather than relying on a general visual resemblance.
• Check that the door channel is intended for a dart-mount gasket and is not damaged or obstructed.
• Inspect door hinges, latch components, and closer condition for alignment issues that may affect sealing.
• Confirm that the door closes evenly against the cabinet face before attributing a sealing concern to the gasket alone.
• Use SKU 06006178 as an additional PartsDirectOnline ordering reference when needed.

Related Components

• Door hinges should be inspected because hinge wear or door sag can prevent even gasket contact around the cabinet opening.
• Door latch components should be inspected because incomplete latching can leave the magnetic gasket unable to seat consistently.
• Door closer components should be inspected where present because insufficient closing action can contribute to a poor door seal.
• The gasket retainer or door channel should be inspected because debris, distortion, or damage can keep the dart-mount edge from remaining secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Glastender part number 06003713?

Glastender part number 06003713 is a magnetic dart-mount door gasket for commercial refrigeration equipment.

What does a magnetic door gasket do?

A magnetic door gasket helps seal the gap between a closed refrigeration door and the cabinet face, helping limit cabinet air leakage around the door perimeter.

What does dart-mount mean on a door gasket?

Dart-mount describes the gasket mounting edge that seats into the corresponding channel around the door. The mounting style should match the original gasket and door channel.

Should I replace a gasket if the door has frost or moisture around it?

Frost or moisture near the door can indicate air leakage, but the gasket, door alignment, hinges, latch, and cabinet contact surface should all be inspected before selecting a replacement.

How do I confirm this is the correct Glastender gasket?

Match OEM number 06003713 to the original component or approved equipment documentation, then compare the removed gasket profile, dart-mount edge, and door-perimeter layout.

Can a new gasket correct a door that is out of alignment?

A new gasket may not correct an alignment concern by itself. Hinge wear, latch condition, door closure, and the gasket channel should be evaluated when the door does not seat evenly.
