Start by tracking down your fridge\u2019s model number. That\u2019s the key to getting a compatible part. If you don\u2019t still have the manual, you can typically find the model number on a sticker somewhere on the appliance itself.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refrigerator model numbers can be found in several locations. Check the following places:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the exterior door or sides of the appliance<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inside the door or on the door frame<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the interior ceiling of the freezer or refrigerator compartment<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the inside wall of either compartment<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the fridge floor, beneath the crisper drawers<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind the kickplate at the bottom of the appliance<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got that model number, you can search <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or in the search box above in this article or at AppliancePartsPros.com to find a compatible refrigerator door seal. Your genuine OEM part will arrive in just a few days, getting you on your way quickly!<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Replace a Refrigerator Door Gasket<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The steps laid out in this article and the companion video were completed on a Whirlpool refrigerator and can be watched in the video above. Even if you have another brand or model of refrigerator, though, this guide should still be some help! Most refrigerator doors can be removed in the same way, and while gaskets are not one universal size, the steps to install them are roughly identical. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an easy repair, and we\u2019ll have you back in working order in just a few minutes!<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before You Begin\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Make sure your refrigerator is unplugged before beginning any work. Never complete repairs or maintenance on a major appliance that is still receiving power!<\/strong><\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assuming everything goes to plan, this should be a quick repair job. You don\u2019t need to clear out your whole refrigerator, but you will be taking the refrigerator door completely off, so it\u2019s important that you:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove and relocate anything that needs to stay at a certain temperature, like medications.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remove anything in the door\u2019s shelves or bins.

You don\u2019t want any wrinkles or creases in the gasket when you install it. Soaking it will also help to remove any dust, grime, or debris that the gasket may have collected while being packaged. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can wait to do this until you\u2019ve taken the door off the fridge, but don\u2019t install the new gasket without prepping it first!<\/span><b> <\/b><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Are you working on a door with an ice and water dispenser? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If so, you will need to make sure that it is fully disconnected first.\r\n<\/span>a.<b> Disconnect the wire harness providing power to the dispenser. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do this from inside the refrigerator door.\r\n<\/span>b.<b> Disconnect the dispenser\u2019s water line. <\/b>You should be able to access this hose from behind the front kick plate at the bottom of your refrigerator. Disconnect the compression fitting.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Remove the plastic cover over the refrigerator door hinge.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It just snaps into place, so pull up on it to take it off.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Using a socket wrench or nut driver, remove the\u00a0 three bolts holding the hinge on. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On our Whirlpool refrigerator, they were 5\/16 bolts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lift the hinge off and set it aside<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, be sure to keep track of the spacer, as well. It\u2019s a thin sheet between the hinge and the refrigerator body.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lift the door off of the refrigerator.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You will need to pull it away slightly before lifting it off of the bottom hinge. Once you have the door off, set it on a flat, easy to access surface like a table or counter.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Verify that your new gasket is the right size and free of defects<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by laying it out over the old gasket and checking that it lines up.

Once you have it pulled away, use a wire cutter to snip the gasket to the door liner.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a. Pull on the gasket carefully to remove it from beneath the door\u2019s liner. Once it\u2019s free, cut the gasket the rest of the way.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b. Take one of the new gasket tails and carefully pull the gasket out of the refrigerator liner, working all the way around the door. <\/span><b>Be sure to pull out and not up.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you pull up, you could dislodge or damage the refrigerator door liner.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clear out the space between the liner and the door.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Using a putty knife with tape wrapped around the top \u00be inch of the blade, carefully work your way around the door, pushing away any foam that might be between the door liner and the door interior.

Starting in one corner, stick part of the new gasket under the liner, then use a rounded tool like a nut driver \u2013 nothing with a sharp edge because you don\u2019t want to risk damaging the new gasket \u2013 to push it fully into place.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b. Work in the corner and a few inches on either side, then move to the opposite corner and repeat the process. If you started with the bottom right, do the top left, next.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">c. Do the same with the remaining corners.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d.

Set the door down on the lower hinge, then close it.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b. Set the hinge spacer and the hinge back in place, and then reinstall the mounting bolts, first by hand threading and then with a nut driver or socket wrench.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">c. Put the hinge cover back in place.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d.
