ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for installing a stretchable rectangular shaped gasket in a rectangular shaped channel member secured to a refrigerator door. A rectangular shaped frame is formed with side rails, the side rails as viewed in lateral cross-section having a vertical leg forming an outer periphery of the frame and joining a horizontal leg perpendicular thereto, the vertical leg being slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the door. The frame is pivoted to an upwardly facing position and the gasket is placed on the horizontal leg of the frame. The refrigerator door is positioned under the frame with the rectangular shaped channel member facing toward the frame and the frame is pivoted from an upwardly facing position to a downwardly facing position and moved downwardly to a lower position to contact the gasket with the channel member. Force is applied at the corners of the gasket sufficient to force the gasket into the channel member at the corners and thereafter the frame is moved to a raised position and the refrigerator door removed from under the frame.
