Can you rejuvenate a magnet?

You remagnetize a magnet by bringing it into contact with a strong magnet. So, if you have a weakened magnet, you must carefully bring it to contact with a strong neodymium magnet. This will make your weakened magnet regain its magnetic force. That was it.

Where is the magnet in a fridge?

Refrigerator doors typically have a magnetic seal or gasket around the edge of door that does the job of holding the door closed and forming an air tight seal.

How do you magnetize a refrigerator door gasket?

To get that seal snug again, find a strong magnet. Magnetic strips embedded in the door’s gaskets are responsible for making the door shut tight, so run that magnet 50 times along each side of the gaskets, all in the same direction. That will remagnetize the strips and restore the seal.

When should refrigerator door gasket be replaced?

Replace the old seal with a new one. Often times, you just need to start fresh with a new seal. Every 12 months or so, check to see if your refrigerator gaskets are in good condition.

Are refrigerator door seals magnetic?

Running all around the edge of your refrigerator door is a squishable gasket. It makes a seal between the door and the main body of the refrigerator. Embedded inside this flexible PVC gasket is a flexible magnet. That flexible magnet doesn’t just have a weaker pull force, it’s also a magnet with much lower coercivity.

How do you fix the gap on a refrigerator door gasket?

Close the refrigerator door and inspect the gaps. Rub petroleum jelly on the entire gasket to fix small gaps. If there are large gaps that you can push paper through, or if rubbing petroleum jelly on the gasket doesn’t fix the gap, replace the gasket.

If the door still fails to shut tightly, check the door gaskets. Inspect the gasket to make sure you cleaned it thoroughly, and clean it again if necessary. Ensure the refrigerator is level from front to back and side to side if the door still does not close properly. Place the level on top of the refrigerator.

What causes a refrigerator door not to close properly?

If the door seal looks fine but the door doesn’t seal shut and drifts open, the gasket may have become de-magnetised. You will either need to get the seal re-magnetised or replace it. If the door won’t fully close something may be obstructing the hinges.
