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.

• Helps prevent rattling, gaps, or edges catching on clothing
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly trim, trim won't stay attached, missing/broken retainer

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the circuit breaker before servicing
• Support the door and trim to avoid bending or scratching surfaces
• Remove the old retainer and install the new part in the same orientation
• Ensure the trim is fully seated along its length before restoring power
