Description

Original food compartment door seal for Bloomberg 4-door refrigerator | 4362160100

The original Bloomberg door seal, part number 4362160100, is intended for the food compartment door in a 4-door refrigerator.
A damaged, cracked, or flexible gasket that has lost its elasticity allows warm air to enter the refrigerator compartment.
As a result, the compressor works harder, electricity consumption increases, and food spoils sooner.
Replacing with an original part restores the hermetic seal and cooling efficiency.

Bloomberg Sealing Technology: Why is Originality Critical?

Every original Bloomberg gasket includes Magnet built into the rubber profile.
The magnet attaches the door to the refrigerator body with uniform pressure along the entire frame.
Furthermore, the original gasket rubber withstands temperatures between 0° and 5°C for years, without drying out or cracking.
In contrast, an unapproved part is made of cheap rubber that loses its elasticity within one to two years and stops sealing properly.

What happens when the refrigerator door seal is damaged?

A worn gasket creates a gap between the door and the refrigerator body. This gap allows warm, humid air to enter the food compartment.
Due to this, the temperature in the chamber rises and forces the compressor to operate continuously, which increases electricity consumption.
In addition, the incoming moisture creates ice on the sides and on the food.
Food that is kept in unstable refrigeration conditions spoils faster and loses its nutritional value.

✅ Why is it important to use an original gasket?

✅ A magnet is built into the rubber profile for a hermetic coupling along the entire frame.

✅ Flexible rubber withstands refrigeration conditions for years, without drying out or cracking.

✅ Exact fit to the dimensions of the food compartment door of KQD Bloomberg models.

✅ Saves electricity: Proper sealing allows the compressor to rest between cooling cycles.

⚠️ An unapproved part may not fit the frame dimensions exactly as required.
In this situation, an opening remains between the door and the body of the refrigerator, even when the door appears closed.

📍 How do you find the model number of a Bloomberg refrigerator?

You will find the model number on a sticker on the left wall of the refrigerator compartment, near the first shelf.

🔧 Gasket replacement instructions

Replacing a refrigerator door seal is a do-it-yourself operation that does not require tools:

⚠️ To make installation easier, warm the new gasket in warm (not boiling) water for 5-10 minutes before installation.
The rubber will flex and fit into the frame more easily.

1. Open the food compartment door completely.
2. Remove the old seal: Find a corner and gently pull. The seal is attached with clips along the door frame.
3. Clean the frame channel of grease and dirt that has accumulated under the old seal.
4. Insert the new gasket: Start at one corner and work your way around the frame. Press each clip into place until you hear a click.
5. Make sure the door closes securely all the way around. Check with a sheet of paper: insert it between the door and the refrigerator body and close.
   The paper should be difficult to remove.

Estimated time: 10-15 minutes. No tools required.

💡 Tip from the experts

💡 Tip from the experts: Clean the door seal once every two months with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Grease and dirt that accumulate inside the seal folds make coupling difficult and accelerate rubber wear.
A clean, supple gasket lasts for many more years.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do you know if the refrigerator door seal is damaged?

The simplest sign is the paper test: insert a sheet of paper between the door and the refrigerator body at various points along the frame and close.
If the paper falls off easily, the gasket is not sealing properly at that point.
Other signs include ice accumulating on the walls of the food compartment, moisture buildup, and a refrigerator that runs continuously without stopping.

Can I replace a refrigerator gasket myself?

Yes. Replacing a refrigerator gasket is one of the simplest replacement operations that can be performed by yourself, without tools.
Warm the new gasket in hot water for maximum flexibility, remove the old one, clean the frame, and press the new one into place clip by clip.
Finally, check for tightness with a sheet of paper.

How long does a refrigerator gasket last?

An original refrigerator gasket typically lasts between 7 and 12 years, depending on how often the door is opened and the quality of maintenance.
Regular cleaning of the gasket extends its life. A gasket exposed to aggressive cleaning agents dries out and cracks more quickly.

Why does ice accumulate on the sides of the refrigerator?

Ice on the walls of the food compartment usually indicates moisture entering from outside.
Common causes are a worn door seal that does not seal properly, a door that does not close all the way, or frequent door openings.
When humid air enters the cold compartment, the moisture condenses and freezes on the walls.
