Error code MECH-GASKET on the Electrolux EI23BC82SS 22.7 cu ft Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator Stainless Steel means: Door Gasket Worn or Torn. Warm air is entering the refrigerator, causing it to run excessively, form condensation on the exterior, or not maintain proper temperature. The magnetic door gasket is cracked, torn, deformed, or has lost its magnetic pull. Test by closing the door on a dollar bill — if it slides out easily, the gasket is not sealing. On Electrolux French door models, check both door gaskets and the freezer drawer gasket. The gasket typically presses into a retaining channel around the door perimeter.
