A gasket is usually an important part of a freezer. It is a plastic or a rubber seal attached to the borders of the door. If your refrigerator functions perfectly, then it means that the gasket is properly airtight. This will also allow the appliance to function effectively. But, once the commercial freezer gaskets start to fail, there would be a leakage that makes your electric payment increase.

If you see an escaping light from the refrigerator, it just means that the gasket is failing and id does not provide an efficient function.

To remove any possible blockage and to remove the food particles that interferes with the seal, clean the gasket with cloth.
