Parts for Whirlpool EV171NYMS03: 03 - Door Parts

White. No longer made in stainless. Includes the inner and outer door panel.

This replacement OEM part is a door gasket for refrigerators. The door gasket, sometimes called the door seal, is the rubber piece that fits around the interior door of the refrigerator, creating a seal that prevents warm air from entering the refrigerator. Over time, the door gasket can become damaged after continuous use. If the gasket becomes cracked or is no longer able to tightly secure the door, it might be time to replace it. To replace the seal, begin by opening the refrigerator door. Locate the least secure part of the seal and begin to pull it out from its groove. Pull firmly from one corner to the other until the entire seal has been removed. After removal, proceed to place the new seal into its proper position by pushing it down into the groove of the refrigerator door that attaches it. Start from one corner until the seal completely covers the perimeter of the door. Once secured, close the refrigerator door.This genuine replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Sears, and Kenmore brand refrigerators.

• Reduces frost and condensation caused by gaps or a deformed gasket
• Typical symptoms: torn or brittle gasket, visible gaps, door not sealing, excess frost or moisture

• Disconnect power before beginning work
• Soften the new gasket in warm water to relax folds; use only gentle heat if needed
• Seat the gasket fully in the channel or under retainers as designed by your model
• After installation, check contact all around and adjust hinges/latch if necessary; allow time for the gasket to conform
