Door gasket is torn, cracked, or not sealing, causing temperature and humidity issues.

Safety: Unplug the unit before replacing the gasket to avoid the fan running while the door is open for an extended period.

Steps:

• 1. Inspect gasket: Identify all damaged areas. If multiple sections are compromised, replace the entire gasket.
• 2. Remove old gasket: Gently pull the gasket out of its retaining channel around the door. Some models may use screws or clips; remove as needed.
• 3. Install new gasket: Starting at the corners, press the new Gaggenau gasket firmly into the channel, ensuring it is fully seated all around.
• 4. Warm and shape: Use a hair dryer on low to warm the gasket and help it conform to the door shape. Do not overheat.
• 5. Check seal: Close the door and inspect for gaps. Perform the paper test to confirm a good seal.

Tip: Avoid using sharp tools near the gasket to prevent accidental cuts.
