Frequently Asked Questions About Domestic Refrigerator Repair:

Getting a gasket for an older refrigerator

Just got an old Coronado refrigerator and needed to replace the door gasket. Is there any place where I can purchase this gasket?

You should be able to get a custom made gasket. If it's magnetic (no door catch mechanism) measure the old one exact to 1/8 of an inch and contact an appliance parts store. There are a few different styles as well so draw yourself a cross section picture of your original as well.

If it's not magnetic (magnets formed into the plastic all around the edges) you can buy the gasket on a per foot basis.
