The LG 4987JJ1010G Gasket Assembly is a sealing part that goes around the refrigerator door frame. When the door is locked, it forms a seal that will assist in keeping the internal temperature by not allowing air to move between the inside of the refrigerator and the outside world.
Step 1: The LG refrigerator is disconnected from the power source and the door is taken off. The refrigerator door is started by being opened and the bottom hinge pin is found. The hinge pin is loosened with a screwdriver and shifted aside. The door is slightly lifted and slid off the top hinge.
Step 2: The screws that hold the old gasket assembly to the refrigerator door are taken out. Depending on the model, the placement of these screws may vary. A common configuration includes two screws at the top and two at the bottom.
Step 3: The old gasket assembly is removed from the door. It should be noted that the gasket might be fastened with Velcro. If this is the case, the fabric should be gently peeled away from both the door and the gasket assembly.
Step 4: The door is examined to ensure no remnants of the old gasket material remain. A damp cloth is utilized to wipe away any leftover gasket material. It should be allowed to dry thoroughly before moving forward.
Step 5: The new gasket assembly is positioned onto the refrigerator door. It should ensure that it fits tightly and is uniformly aligned around the door.
Step 6: The gasket assembly is fastened to the door utilizing the screws included with the assembly.
Step 7: The door is reattached to the refrigerator and the hinge pin is secured.
Step 8: The refrigerator is reconnected to the power supply and the door is checked to confirm that it seals correctly when closed.
