ABSTRACT:
A gasket assembly for use in side-by-side, or French doors for a refrigerator has door stops which bear the door closure forces by engaging the top and bottom walls of the refrigerator food compartment. The door stops form part of an edge flange of a retainer that extends along the length of the refrigerator door. The retainer acts as a seat for a flexible gasket and maintains the integrity of the flexible gasket seal alignment between the side-by-side doors. The advantage provided is that a thermal seal barrier is maintained along the entire length of the door by the door stops maintaining the gasket a constant distance from the top and bottom walls of the food compartment.
