The door gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It forms a seal between the refrigerator door and body, working to ensure peak cooling and energy efficiency. This rubber gasket acts as insulation, preventing warm air from entering the refrigerator compartment each time the door is opened.
Causes of a bad door gasket can include cracks, tears, or compression from repeatedly opening and closing the refrigerator door over an extended period of time.
Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:
- Inefficient cooling and higher energy costs
- Warm air leaking into the refrigerator
- Moisture buildup or frost inside the body
- Difficulty properly sealing the door shut
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Fixed the door seal myself with parts from Appliance Pro. I watched a few You tube videos and it was a half hour job. Your parts arrived within 24 hours. Great delivery! Wow that was fast and matching parts and model numbers was easy using the ordering on line site. Thank you.
