A KitchenAid KBFC-42FTS-04 built-in refrigerator had two torn door gaskets that were allowing warm, humid air into the refrigerator compartment. The result was poor sealing, condensation, and water collecting inside the unit.
Both refrigerator door gaskets were damaged. Once a gasket tears or loses its shape, warm and humid kitchen air can enter the refrigerator every time the door is closed. That added moisture may collect as condensation and eventually show up as water inside the refrigerator compartment.
On built-in refrigerators, a good door seal matters even more because these units are designed to maintain stable temperatures in a tightly fitted cabinet installation.
A damaged gasket can allow warmer air into the compartment, making the refrigerator work harder to hold temperature.
Warm humid air can create condensation inside the cabinet, which may collect on shelves, drawers, or interior surfaces.
When doors do not seal correctly, the cooling system may run more often than normal and put unnecessary strain on the appliance.
