DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE MANUAL
9.9 INTERIOR LINER SEAL TO FRAME
There is a seal that is applied to the liner in the area
where the metal frame makes contact with the interior
liner. If this seal is incomplete, cold air can migrate out
to the metal frame. If this happens, condensation could
form on the frame and could promote rapid formation of
frost. If you suspect an improper seal, apply a small
bead of silicone all the way around the perimeter where
the frame meets the interior liner.
Remove all screws securing the refrigerator into the
cabinet and slide the refrigerator out approximately 2–4
inches. Clean the metal frame and foil-backed insulation
around the refrigerator. Apply a foil-backed adhesive
tape to the joint between outer frame and foil-backed
refrigerator insulation. Refer to illustration top of page
22.
Make sure the refrigerator is dry and that the surface
temperatures are above 50°F. Use a clear silicon
caulking compound and seal the seam between the
refrigerator's plastic liner and the metal frame. Apply the
silicon in a continuous bead around both the refrigerator
freezer and food compartments.
NOTE: TO FORM A PROPER SEAL, IT IS IMPOR-
TANT NOT TO LEAVE ANY GAPS.
