This shim for the door closer helps align and support the door assembly so it closes smoothly and reduces rubbing or misalignment. Small and simple to fit, it restores proper door movement when the original shim is worn or missing. What it does:

• Spaces and stabilizes the door closer assembly to maintain correct door alignment
• Reduces door rubbing, binding, or uneven gaps caused by a damaged or missing shim
• Helps the door latch and seal engage consistently for proper operation
• Used when the door feels loose, drags, or does not close evenly

• One door closer shim

• Intended for users comfortable with basic appliance disassembly; disconnect power before starting
• Handle small parts carefully and keep track of fasteners and orientation for reassembly

This freezer door gasket creates a tight seal around the door to keep cold air in and humid air out. Replacing a worn gasket restores proper temperature control, reduces frost, and helps the door close and seal correctly.

• Seals the gap between the freezer door and cabinet to maintain cold temperatures
• Blocks warm, moist room air that can cause frost and ice buildup
• Helps prevent sweating/condensation around the door perimeter
• Addresses issues from torn, shrunken, brittle, or deformed gaskets that won't seal

• Disconnect power before servicing; clear items from the door
• Lay gasket flat and warm gently (hot water or low heat) to relax kinks before installation
• Loosen inner-liner screws/retainer, press gasket fully into the channel, then tighten screws evenly
• Perform a dollar-bill test around the perimeter; gently warm stiff areas to smooth and adjust door alignment if needed

The Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This gasket forms a seal around the refrigerator door, ensuring that cold air stays inside and warm air remains outside, maintaining the appliance's efficiency and keeping food fresh.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include regular wear and tear, mold or mildew buildup, and physical damage from repeated opening and closing of the door. 

Symptoms of a bad refrigerator door gasket include:

• Warm air entering the refrigerator, causing it to run more frequently
• Condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator
• Difficulty keeping the door closed
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket

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