I have a all woods refridgerator mod#rfa17wce lo, ser#14121046cm. The door seal(gaskey?) is not holding the door shut all the way. Where can I find the part to correct this. Local appliance dealers to do carry parts

Woods are no longer in business and all parts are obsolete.

So, you can either buy a door gasket by the size of the one you have, or you can make one by buying a length or door gasket material and cutting 90' notches in the 4 corners and filling / gluing the corners with white silicone.

Or if the gasket is just split, you can clean thoroughly and repair with silicone. Fill the void, close the door, and clean up excess.

And then after typing all the above, I searched for the Part Number and there is one here!

If it is being used, it should be too cold for mold (Mildew) to be able to grow. Upright refrigerators already have a circulation fan in them. Mildew won't form in an environment that cold unless the fan is not running and there is a small air leak around the door seals. The picture above looks like a commercial box. If so, the fan is normally mounted and easy to see, mounted on the top panel, inside of the box. If its a residential model, the fan can be berried behind the back inside panel and difficult to access. If there is a switch visible around the door frame, pushing it in should start the fan. I'm guessing that the mildew is present on the door seal? Try sliding a stiff dollar bill between the door seal and the refrigerator all the way around the door. If it makes it in any where, the seal is leaking at that point. If I am way off with all of this advise, let me know in detail how this is wrong and I can go from there. Hope this is good advise for you. Let me know. Good luck.

The door seals of freezer has been compromised. Need a repair or replacement.

Check there are no small vegetables stuck in the seal. Crazy, I know, but it's amazing the places frozen peas can end up.

If there's nothing caught in the seal, perhaps the seal has deformed. How did you do the defrosting? Sometimes people use knives and damage parts of their freezer. Some people use boiling water, which can cause damage to seals. If the seal has become deformed, you will most likely need a new seal.

It might also be worth checking the door hinges; if the door isn't flush with the opening, the seal won't seal properly. Defrosting shouldn't cause any problems with the door, but sometimes accidents happen.

Good luck!

Things you can do to cut down on frost.
1.make sure all seals fit flush to frame.
2.use a thermometer and set freezer to -18c(beef will keep upto 12months).
3.wrap all food as airtight as poss.
3.do not overfill,leave space for air flow through drawers/shelves.
4.defrost every 2/3 months in humid conditions using clorine bleach to clean interior,and dry thoroughly.(leave door open to dissipate clorine gas.)

You have to contact service center immediately.

Put a long straight edge on the door to verify a warp. A 4 foot level is good for this test.
If the door is in fact warped. You should pull back on the seal,loosen the screws behind the seal holding the door liner in place,adjust the door to the straight edge and re-tighten the screws.
If the straight edge does not show a warped door,take a hair dryer and heat the seal where it is off the frame. Do this with the door closed and you will see the seal relax and touch the frame. Let it cool in this position before opening the door again.
If neither of these is the cause,loosen the door hinge and re-adjust the door position,then re-tighten the hinge screws.

my woods upright freezer is running very loud

I will tell you how I fixed this problem for a one time payment of $19.95. Or, go to appliancerepair.com and get the answer for free. There! That'l FIXYA.

check your door seal, by closing the door on a strip of newspaper all round the seal. this fault is usually air getting inside the freezer, it rises to the top making thick ice or snow.
