Parts for Maytag MEDP585GW0: Door Parts

Vinyl door seal that forms an airtight barrier around the refrigerator or freezer door to help maintain proper temperature and reduce energy loss. Replaces worn gaskets to stop drafts and minimize frost or moisture build-up. What it does:

• Creates a secure, flexible seal around the door to help keep cold air in and warm air out.
• Helps prevent frost, condensation and uneven cooling inside the compartment.
• Commonly replaced when you see visible cracks, tears, gaps, or feel cold air leaking from the door edges.
• Can improve overall temperature consistency and reduce excessive compressor cycling caused by leaks.

• Remove the old gasket and clean the door frame thoroughly before installing the new seal.
• Warm water or a short exposure to gentle heat can soften a stiff gasket to make installation easier; handle carefully.
• Press the seal fully into the channel and check that it seats evenly around the entire door; avoid forcing or trimming unless specified by the OEM.
