Symptoms of a compromised gasket include:

• Frost or ice buildup near the door threshold from leaks
• Difficulty keeping foods frozen solid in compartments near the door
• The cold air felt escaping around door edges when closed

It is also compatible for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

The Freezer Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators. As the seal that encloses cold air inside the freezer compartment, this gasket is critical for maintaining proper freezing temperatures.

Causes of a bad freezer door gasket can include cracking or deterioration from repeated compression and expansion during opening and closing of the freezer door over time. Food debris or moisture trapped against the gasket rim can also damage the sealing integrity.

Symptoms of a bad freezer door gasket include:

• Difficulty closing or sealing the freezer door properly

• Loss of interior temperature regulation

• Shelves that suddenly fall or slide out of position while accessing contents   
• Gaps or spaces where shelves are unable to fully lock into place along guides
• Noisy rattling or clanking sounds emanating from loose shelving inside the door  

Causes generally relate to standard wear over extended use. Repeated door movements may gradually weaken connecting joints, sockets, and bends within the thin metal bar material over time.

Compatible brands are KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore refrigerator models too.
