Your vaccine fridge produces cold air to keep the vaccines and medications cool. The role of a fridge door seal is to hold the cold air inside your vaccine refrigerator. If the seals are worn the cold air will escape. This can mean that your fridge's compressor has to run more often than it should. Also, the moisture in the extra air entering the fridge can cause the vaccine refrigerator it ices up. Both of these factors will increase your electricity bill. So what are the symptoms that you need to replace the door seal on your vaccine fridge? Here is a list of things to check:
  • The seal may show obvious signs of wear, such as tears, breaks and knicks
  • Check to see if the door seal is still flexible and not hard and brittle
  • Magnets found in some seals may lose their strength over time
  • If the seal is dirty or mouldy it is worth changing your fridge's door seal
