Arctic Air 216522315 OEM Magnetic Door Gasket – 31-1/4" x 61-5/8"

Arctic Air 216522315 OEM Magnetic Door Gasket – 31-1/4" x 61-5/8"

The Arctic Air 216522315 Door Gasket is a genuine OEM magnetic refrigeration door gasket designed for compatible Arctic Air commercial refrigerator and freezer applications. This gasket measures approximately 31-1/4" x 61-5/8", uses an MS18 profile, and provides the flexible sealing surface required around the cabinet door opening.

A properly fitting magnetic gasket helps the refrigeration door close securely against the cabinet frame, reducing warm-air infiltration and helping the equipment maintain stable operating temperatures. A worn, torn, flattened, hardened, or poorly seated gasket can contribute to frost, condensation, long compressor run times, uneven cabinet temperatures, and unnecessary refrigeration load.

Arctic Air OEM part number 216522315 is now obsolete and has been superseded by 5304506125. Verify which part number is being supplied before ordering or activating this product.

216522315 Superseded by 5304506125

Arctic Air 216522315 is a legacy OEM number. Current OEM parts sources identify 5304506125 as the replacement for 216522315.

• Previous OEM: 216522315
• Current OEM Replacement: 5304506125

If the replacement supplied is 5304506125, the physical appearance may vary slightly from the original 216522315 while still serving as the manufacturer-approved replacement.

What the Arctic Air Door Gasket Does

The magnetic gasket forms the flexible seal between the refrigeration door and cabinet opening. When the door closes, the magnetic section helps pull the gasket against the cabinet surface while the gasket profile compresses to fill the perimeter gap.

Proper gasket sealing helps support:

• Stable cabinet temperature
• Reduced warm-air infiltration
• Reduced moisture entry
• Reduced frost around the door opening
• Normal compressor cycling
• Improved refrigeration efficiency
• Consistent food-storage conditions

31-1/4" x 61-5/8" MS18 Profile

Published OEM and commercial service-parts data identifies this gasket at approximately 31-1/4" x 61-5/8" with an MS18 gasket profile.

Gasket measurements can vary depending on whether they are taken from outside edge to outside edge, dart centerline, or another reference point. For that reason, the OEM number and gasket profile should be used together with dimensions when confirming fitment.

Common Signs a Door Gasket Needs Replacement

• Visible tears or cracks
• Gasket is flattened and no longer rebounds
• Magnetic edge no longer holds evenly
• Door does not seal tightly
• Warm air can be felt entering around the door
• Condensation develops around the opening
• Frost or ice forms near the door perimeter
• Compressor runs longer than normal
• Cabinet temperature becomes difficult to maintain
• Gasket repeatedly pulls out of the mounting channel

These symptoms do not automatically prove the gasket is the only problem. Door alignment, hinges, latch hardware, cabinet condition, and door-frame damage should also be inspected.

Check Door Alignment Before Replacing the Gasket

A new gasket cannot seal correctly if the refrigeration door is sagging or misaligned.

Inspect:

• Door hinges
• Door sag
• Latch and strike alignment
• Door frame condition
• Mounting channel condition
• Cabinet leveling

Inspect the Gasket Retainer / Mounting Channel

This listing is for a retainer-mounted style gasket. Inspect the original gasket channel before installation.

Check for:

• Bent retainer sections
• Debris in the mounting channel
• Loose retainer hardware
• Damaged mounting edges
• Old gasket material remaining in the channel

Clean the mounting channel before installing the replacement gasket.

Gasket Installation Tips

Replacement door gaskets may arrive compressed or folded from packaging. Minor folds can often be relaxed before installation by allowing the gasket to warm naturally or by carefully applying mild heat.

Avoid overheating the gasket. Excessive heat can deform the vinyl material.

After installation:

• Verify the gasket is fully seated in the retainer
• Check all four corners
• Close the door and inspect compression
• Look for visible gaps
• Confirm the magnetic edge contacts the cabinet evenly
• Allow the gasket time to conform to the door opening

Fitment Note: Equipment revisions can vary. Verify the complete Arctic Air model, serial number, original gasket, OEM number, dimensions, and gasket profile before ordering.

Technician Checks Before Ordering

• Original OEM number 216522315
• Current replacement number 5304506125

Why Correct Arctic Air OEM Identification Matters

Commercial refrigeration door gaskets can appear similar while using different profiles, magnetic inserts, dimensions, and mounting methods.

Using Arctic Air OEM 216522315 together with its current replacement 5304506125, the 31-1/4" x 61-5/8" dimensions, and MS18 profile provides the strongest replacement reference.
