Parts for Maytag MTF1972HRQ: 06 - Fresh Food Inner Door Parts

This is a replacement mounting screw for securing appliance components and panels. It restores proper fastening where a missing or stripped screw causes loose parts or rattling. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, or small components to restore secure attachment
• Prevents vibration and rattling caused by loose or missing fasteners
• Replaces stripped or lost factory screws to maintain original fit
• Matches OEM fit for the specific mounting location when the part number is specified

• Use the matching screw location and size specified by the parts diagram
• Hand-start threads to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely but do not overtighten
• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing panels or components
• If threads are damaged, replace with correct OEM screw—do not force a mismatched fastener

This fresh food door gasket seals the refrigerator compartment door to keep cold air in and warm air out. Replacing a worn gasket restores a tight seal, improves temperature stability, and helps prevent condensation and frost around the door.

• Seals the perimeter of the fresh food (refrigerator) door to limit air leaks
• Helps maintain proper interior temperature and efficiency
• Typical symptoms of failure: door not closing or sealing fully; visible tears, gaps, or warping
• May cause moisture, sweating, or frost near the door gasket area

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Warm and relax the new gasket (soak in warm water or use low heat) to ease installation; do not overheat
• Clean the door's gasket channel; install starting at the corners and ensure even seating all around
• Close the door and check for uniform contact; use a paper-slip test to confirm the seal
