The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It forms a tight seal around the refrigerator door, preventing warm air from entering and cold air from escaping, thus maintaining the optimal internal temperature.
Over time, the door gasket can wear out or become damaged, leading to leaks that compromise the refrigerator's efficiency. Causes of a bad door gasket include normal wear and tear, frequent door openings, exposure to extreme temperatures, or physical damage such as cuts or tears.
Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:
- Condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator
- Increased energy consumption
- Warm spots inside the refrigerator
- The door not closing properly or sealing tightly
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
