The Dometic RF 8500 refrigerator door gasket is the critical seal that keeps cold air inside your RV fridge and prevents warm air from entering. Over time, gaskets crack, harden, or lose their seal, causing your refrigerator to work harder and consume more propane or electricity. This genuine OEM sandstone-colored gasket restores a tight seal and improves cooling efficiency.

• Sandstone color matches original factory finish
• Prevents air leaks and improves refrigerator efficiency
