ABSTRACT:
A seal assembly for use between a door and a cabinet of a refrigerator includes primary and secondary seals that are preferably carried by the door and extend around the entire perimeter thereof. The secondary seal is specifically designed to minimize necessary closing forces and creates an air cell in a throat area between a cold storage compartment of the refrigerator and the primary seal in order to effectively reduce heat transfer therethrough.
