The Refrigerator Door Gasket (Beige) is an OEM replacement part specifically designed for Whirlpool-brand refrigerators. The gasket is responsible for preventing warm air and moisture from entering the refrigerator when doors close. The gasket measures approximately 19 ¼” wide x 62" tall.
Causes of a gasket issue can include cracking and degradation due to repeated compression over many years of use. Sections may lose elasticity and no longer seal tightly.
Symptoms of a bad gasket include:
- High energy costs as the system works to maintain proper cooling
- Warm, humid interior environment allowing food decay
- Visible air leaks around gasket edges when doors are shut
This part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and other brands.
