Symptoms of a bad light bulb socket include:

• The fridge interior light failing to turn on
• The bulb burning out quickly  
• Flickering or intermittent lighting

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This genuine replacement door gasket creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to help maintain proper temperature and efficiency. It restores sealing performance to reduce frost buildup and stabilize internal cooling. What it does:

• Seals the refrigerator door edge to keep cold air in and warm air out
• Helps prevent frost and ice buildup in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces compressor run time caused by a leaking door seal
