KitchenAid KRFC300ESS 20 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator DOOR GASKET WORN Error Fix: Door Gasket Not Sealing

The door gasket does not create an airtight seal, allowing warm humid air in. Test with a dollar bill — close the door on a bill and try to slide it out; if it slides easily, the seal is weak. Clean gasket with warm soapy water. On French door models (KRFC300ESS), also check the gasket between the two doors and around the freezer drawer.
