It may be a part of the kitchen that sometimes gets overlooked but the fridge door gasket, also known as the fridge or freezer door seal, is a crucial component to a compliant and safe kitchen. Fridge door gaskets are what ensure that fridges seal properly and with any degradation of the seals there is a resulting drop in the chilling performance of the fridge. Needless to say it should be part of the routine to replace fridge door gaskets as needed and in this article we’ll outline why it is key that you do.

Those within the catering industry will know the importance of keeping a commercial kitchen spotless and regularly maintaining equipment. One of the first areas of a kitchen that an environmental health officer (EHO) will inspect during a random spot check is the state of your refrigeration units, especially the fridge and freezer door gaskets. Any split, frozen or worse still missing fridge door gaskets will result in your establishment getting a less than satisfactory food hygiene rating and can also lead to an on-the spot fine.

Potential customers have access to review your establishments food hygiene rating and can easily be put off by a poor score which could have a detrimental effect on your business. For this reason, it’s vital that refrigerator door seals and gaskets are checked regularly to ensure they meet the standards and avoid your establishment from being named in the local press. Not only that though, damaged fridge seals can result in bigger electricity bills, with refrigeration systems using between 30-60% of energy used by supermarkets – given these figures it is paramount to ensure that your fridge seals are working to their maximum.
