The original magnetic door seal 6245292 maintains a hermetic seal between the refrigerator door and the body of the appliance, preventing warm air from entering. The part is suitable for a variety of Miele refrigerator and freezer models (it is recommended to verify by E-Nr), and is an original OEM part only, no replacements.

The refrigerator suddenly works overtime, but not really a refrigerator? Sometimes it's not the compressor, but an old door seal that has lost its magnetic grip. A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is necessary to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage. Now click on the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why does warm air enter the refrigerator through the door?

Usually the cause is a door seal that has dried out or cracked. The rubber seal loses elasticity over time, and the magnetic strip inside it no longer sticks tightly to the body of the refrigerator. The result: warm air enters, ice builds up on the sides, and the compressor works much harder than necessary.

How do you check at home without a technician? Place a piece of paper between the door and the body of the refrigerator and pull it gently. If the paper slips off easily, the seal is damaged and needs to be replaced. It's a good idea to check this at several points around the door, not just in the center.

It's also a good idea to check if the door stays open on its own when the freezer is closed tightly, another sign of a loose seal. Cleaning the rubber with a damp towel every few weeks helps keep it flexible longer.

To find the exact model of your refrigerator, look for the E-Nr sticker. On most Miele refrigerators, it is located on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment, or on the back of the appliance. The E-Nr is the safest way to verify an exact fit before ordering.

You can find all original Miele spare parts in our variety of categories, so both the door seal and other components come directly from the official importer.

🔧 How do you replace the magnetic door seal on a Miele refrigerator?

The replacement is a simple DIY operation and takes about 20-30 minutes. No disassembly or screwing is required, it's just a glue-on job.

⚠️ Please note: Before replacing, slightly empty the shelf closest to the work area, so as not to drop items.

1. Gently remove the old seal from the groove in the door frame.
2. Clean the groove of any glue residue and dirt using a damp cloth.
3. Leave the new gasket at room temperature for a few hours, so that it softens and becomes more flexible.
4. Align the gasket along the groove, starting from one corner and moving gradually.
5. Press gently along the entire length so that the glue adheres well without wrinkles.
6. Close the door and check for tightness with a piece of paper in several places.

Risk reduction: Replacement does not require breaking or soldering, just precise gluing. If the rubber seems too hard, heat it slightly (e.g. with a household heat spreader) to make the job easier.

💡 Tip from the experts

Daniel, our service specialist at Plrom, recommends checking the seal in several places, not just in the center of the door. In his experience, in most cases the leak starts in the lower corners, where the rubber bears the most closing load. Such a check every few months saves a premature technician call.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do you check if the refrigerator door seal is working properly?

The simplest way is to check with a piece of paper. Place a piece of paper between the door and the body of the refrigerator and pull it. If it comes off easily, the seal is damaged. Check this at several points around the door, including the corners, and not just in the center.

Can I replace a refrigerator door seal myself?

Yes, it's a simple DIY job that doesn't require any tools. Remove the old seal, clean the groove, and gradually apply the new seal along the length of the door. The entire process takes about 20-30 minutes.

What causes the refrigerator door seal to break?

Over the years, the rubber dries out and cracks, and the magnetic strip inside it weakens. The daily friction of opening and closing, as well as infrequent cleaning, accelerates wear and tear and impairs tightness.
