The Refrigerator Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This gasket forms a tight seal around the refrigerator or freezer door, helping to maintain the internal temperature and preserve energy efficiency. By keeping warm air out and cold air in, it ensures the freshness of your stored food.
Symptoms of a bad Refrigerator Gasket include:
- The door not sealing tightly, leading to temperature fluctuations
- Increased energy consumption or the refrigerator running more frequently
- Visible cracks, tears, or warping in the gasket material
- Moisture or frost buildup inside the fridge or freezer
Causes of a failing Gasket can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to temperature changes, improper cleaning methods, or accidental damage. Over time, these factors can reduce the gasket’s effectiveness.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Also, when installing the new gasket you have to be sure the seam folds over the edge of the door and doesn't get caught underneath.
