I have a Norcold DE-251D fridge in my cruiser but the door gasket was shot. After WEEKS of trying to find a replacement I found they were out of production and nobody had any old stock. Searching the Internet I found a LOT of people were searching for gaskets for older Norcold fridges so I am posting this for the search engines to find.

I found a custom gasket maker and had a new one made for $35 !

The maker was Cool Temp Refrigeration, Hampstead NC, and the part to order is "HALF DOOR- VINYL 169 15.5 x 18.5"

The new gasket is a hair thicker than the original so the hinges have to be shimmed and the darts are a tight fit so bevel the outside corners and install with lots of dish soap!

Great way to save a $1,000 refrigerator for under $40 !
