On my Maytag French door refrigerator the gasket on the right side door is tearing itself apart where it meets the left door Milan. The machine is two years old. The machine is level. Is this normal.

Are you talking about the center door gaskets? If so, Purchase new gaskets Left and Right (2 different part numbers) from Adco Service of Scottsdale AZ. The gaskets pull out from the two grooves and put liquid soap in the new gasket channel that holds the heater wire. Observe the channel where the wire came from.. Insert the heater wire slowly until it is at the end. Starting at the top, insert the gasket tongue that is towards the inside if the refrigerator first all the way down, then insert the side at the edge of the door. Be sure to firmly seat the gasket
Condensation is cause by warm air meeting cold air. I would suspect the door gasket was the cause of the condensation. When looking this up, I found many different models under this number, part number 67003547, this gasket is black in color and is a push on, means no screws required to change.
put some heavy stuff on the door like soda or water bottles,also wash around the frame where the door gasket touches the fridge and wash the gasket too, there are magnets inside the gasket and if there's anything on the frame it could stop the gasket from making a good seal,how old is the fridge?what shape is the gasket in?if it's torn or lost it's shape it should be replaced.most likely you might just have to get some weight on the door to stop it from popping open
well I suggest you and your neighbor both call Jenn Air as they now have 2 known complaints and perhaps more if others read this and check theirs as well
If the water is visible in the front, more than likely the hose has become disconnected from the door, if you look at the lower left hand corner you should see the hose come from underneath the machine and attach to the door via a plastic quick connect, it is just a push lock connection. You may have to pull of the toe kick and the left hand end cap depending on the model to see this.
I had the same problem - had my local appliance repair shop come by - simple releveling of the unit such that it is tilted slightly back re-establishes things so that the doors will cloe and pull themselves closed. The gaskets are actually magnetized. If the leveling is correct - even upon closing the left door - forcing enough pressure to push open slightly the right side - it will draw itself back in.
