This refrigerator door gasket seals the door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and moisture out. Replacing a worn or deformed gasket restores a reliable seal, steadier temperatures, and more efficient performance.

• Creates an air-tight seal around the door perimeter
• Helps maintain correct temperatures and reduce frost or condensation
• Supports proper door closing and overall cooling efficiency
• Replace if the gasket is torn, cracked, warped, hardened, or leaves gaps; if the door pops open; or if you see moisture/frost along the door edge

• Disconnect power; remove items from the door bins for access
• Pull the old gasket from the retainer; transfer/loosen corner screws if applicable
• Warm the new gasket (hot water or low-heat hair dryer) to relax it; seat the lip evenly, corners first
• Close the door and check for uniform contact; adjust with gentle heat and by leveling/hinge alignment if needed; allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to fully conform

The Handle Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, specifically designed to secure the refrigerator or freezer door handle to the door. This small but crucial component ensures that the handle is firmly attached, providing a safe and reliable grip for opening and closing the refrigerator.

Causes of these symptoms can range from normal wear and tear, to excessive force applied to the handle, or even material fatigue over time.

Symptoms of a bad Handle Clip include:

• Loose door handle, which may wobble or detach partially from the door
• Difficulty in opening or closing the refrigerator door due to a compromised handle grip
• Visible damage or breakage of the clip, preventing secure attachment of the handle

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

This factory fastener secures panels, trim, or brackets on your appliance. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a snug, rattle-free fit and keeps components aligned for proper operation and a clean, finished appearance.

• Replaces lost, damaged, or stripped hardware
• Helps prevent vibration, rattling, and gaps between parts
• Common signs you need this screw: missing hardware, loose or misaligned panel/trim, stripped head or threads

• Disconnect power before servicing; also shut off the gas supply
• Use the correct driver; start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly—do not overtighten to prevent stripping or cracking adjacent parts
• Repair or replace the mounting point before installing
