Locate your model number on the fridge. Google that model number and put parts after the number
Find a wholesale parts dealer who has parts for your model. Appliancepros.com is one. If you don't see the part listed you may have to call them.
do you mean the door seals,if so you may need new ones or you have lost the vacuum in your ff, they are not magnets they feel like it but it is vacuum sealed,,try a ff second hand shop
is it a latched door, if so weather stripping (high density foam) is a good alternative, commonly used on edges of doors, believe it or not that is a door seal just without the cover to make it more pleasing to look at, it comes in various depths, sizes and is normally two sides adhesive. if it is a magnet strip type; pick a side and use it as a strip magnet surface or cover it.
Check for a draft connecting main body to freezer body, theory is air compression transfer from main compartment to the (smaller) freezer compartment. also a quick fix would be to add more magnet strip or bare the metal that makes contact to the magnet strip that seals the door, if its a latch, Inspect the surface area that locks the latch to mount. Draft checking is achieved by blowing a fan into the smaller compartment, vice versa and having strands of string hanging around in the opposite compartment, if the string nudge indicates an air passage point. Also, check the level of the fridge, if the fridge is uneven (assuming the front is tilted downward) the momentum of the door closing will push the fridge backwards and whip it forward effectively opening the freezer door.
If you want a part number for the replacement door gasket please provide a complete model number here so I can give that to you or you can look it up yourself at www.searsdirect.com You must have your model number. (sample 110.XXXXX etc)
The magnet is inside the door seal itself. If the seal is damaged replacement is your only option.
Check the seal of the rubber gasket, if there are improper seal of the magnet, pour hot water along it to soften the rubber. (be careful when handling hot water). When the rubber is soften, try to stretch it a little by pulling it. close the door and the magnet will keep the seal in place.
You will need to replace the gasket. The gasket seems to have failed and that is where the magnet is. You can try to clean the magnet surface and the door surface with rubbing alcohol but you are most likely going to need to replace the gasket
Well the water gathering is probably the drain hole plugged,(under bottom drawer),its a round plug that sticks up a little,it turns out like a bolt,--now about the freezer door,how is the door seal?bad as in warped,torn,bent?incase you didnt know there is a magnet inside the seal.also check if the door needs to be re-adjusted
OPEN THE DOOR WIDE . YOU SHOULD SEE THE HINGES THAT SUPPORT THE DOOR. LOOSEN THE SCREWS THAT SUPPORT THE DOOR----JUST LOOSEN , THEN LIFT UP ON THE DOOR AND TIGHTEN THE SCREWS. NOW YOU CAN LET GO OF THE DOOR. I HOPE THAT WORKS FOR YOU . GOOD LUCK.
