The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It creates an air-tight seal around the refrigerator and freezer doors, keeping cool air in and external heat and moisture out. The resilient gasket material can maintain flexibility through hundreds of open and close cycles.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket can include cracking or splitting of the rubber seal, gashes or punctures that breach the barrier, or warping so that a flush seal can no longer form. 

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Cooler air leaking from door openings  
• Defrost issues or frost build-up
• Inability to maintain set temperatures
• Moisture collection inside door interiors

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