Parts for Maytag GB2526LEKS4: 05 - Freezer Door Parts

The Gasket-FIP (black) is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This gasket is designed to create a tight seal around the refrigerator door, ensuring that cold air stays inside while keeping warm air out. By maintaining an effective seal, it helps the refrigerator maintain consistent internal temperatures and improves energy efficiency. The gasket measures approximately 23 x 34-3/4 inches. 

Common causes of a bad gasket include frequent door openings, buildup of dirt and grime, or natural wear and tear over time. A compromised gasket can lead to air leaks, causing the refrigerator to work harder to stay cold and potentially leading to higher energy bills.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• The refrigerator door not sealing properly
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• Increased condensation or frost buildup around the door
• Higher than usual energy consumption

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

This door bushing fits on the refrigerator hinge/closer to provide a smooth pivot point and proper door alignment. Replacing a worn bushing reduces squeaks and binding and helps the door close and seal as designed.

• Provides a low-friction bearing surface between the hinge pin/closer cam and the door
• Helps maintain correct door height and alignment to the cabinet
• Promotes smooth door swing and reliable self-closing action
• Typical wear symptoms: squeaking or grinding, binding, door sag, or poor sealing

• Disconnect power and support the door before removing hinge hardware
• Note the order/orientation of hinge parts and any shims; lift off the door carefully
• Install the new bushing on the hinge pin or in the door as shown in your model's diagram
• Reinstall, level, and verify the gasket seals evenly all around

This replacement screw secures panels, brackets, and components inside appliances. Replacing a missing or stripped fastener restores a snug, rattle-free fit using the correct #8-18 thread and 5/8-inch length.

• Fastens covers, trims, brackets, and internal parts to the cabinet/frame
• Used wherever a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is specified
• Replace if the original is missing, corroded, stripped, or will not tighten
• Symptoms: loose or rattling panels, gaps, or hardware that backs out

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water before servicing
• Match thread and length; start by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Use the correct driver bit and tighten snugly—do not overtighten
• Inspect and replace damaged clips or tabs before securing
