Kevin October 08, 2014 for Model Number 106-74242402 My 2006 Kenmore that is at our cabin needs a new gasket for the refrigerator but I have also found that when I open the freezer door after a week of not opening it, a thick layer of frost forms on the top of the cabinet in front of the the ice maker. Do you think that this is also a defective gasket?
1 Answer Hello Kevin. Yes, it sounds like the unit is letting in warm air into the unit. You will need to replace the gasket. Read More...
Troy June 06, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool ET21GKXHX01 (White) I seem to not be able to find this Whirlpool model anywhere in Internet land. Having said that the ...HT01 and HW01 are out there. So my questions is that I just wanted to make sure this door gasket is okay? I presume so since the other Hx0x series are listed in the cross reference models. It would be nice if you have white one but in lieu of this the beige will do.
1 Answer Hello Troy! Yes, the refrigerator door gasket 2159061 will work on your model. Thanks! Read More...
Sandra June 04, 2014 for Model Number et1lfkxkb07 Hi! Hope you are well. I have a Whirlpool refrigerator model # et1lfkxkb07. It is black. The gasket tore and a small piece of the strip magnet came off. I see you have a gasket that I think would fit (AP2984509) but it is white. Do you carry the black version? Thank you! Best regards.
Jorge L. August 21, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool refrigerator model ET21DKXDW04 I have condensation in the refrigerator section, underneath the plastic housing where the light bulbs and thermostats are (attached to the ceiling). There is no condensation around the gasket, although the magnet of the gasket does break through the rubber part of the gasket in some areas. The magnet appears to seal properly. At the coldest setting, during summer months the lowest temperature the fridge reaches is about 40F, but it can come close to 50F when the door is opened often (as it is when the kids are home). Is the condensation under the plastic housing normal (it is substantial) and is 40F normal for the lowest temperature under the coldest setting. If not normal, what may be the problem? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Jorge, The moisture or condensation will be due to one of two issues or a combination of the two. Number one, the defrost drain has stopped up and the defrost cycle is contributing moisture with each defrost. Number two, the evaporator fan motor WP4389142 has failed and there is an abnormal amount of moisture in from defrost cycle due to the frost build-up across the top of the evaporator coil. You will need to remove the back wall of the freezer section to check these things out and pinpoint the issue. Read More...

Jackie May 07, 2013 for Model Number 10674202402 I need to replace refrigerator gasket. Can I do this myself? I don't see any screws to hold it in place. How do you remove and how do you replace? Thank you.
1 Answer Jackie, the beige gasket is part number 2159061 and the black gasket is part number 2177311. Pull the old gasket off. The new gasket will press into the door liner. It may be best to soak the new gasket in warm water to help take its shape/form You may need to use a hair dryer to form the seal, be careful not to melt it. Hope this helps! Read More...
George October 19, 2012 for Model Number ET1MTMXKQ00 1) My refrigerator door will not stay close. I suspect its my door gasket. But I have no repair manual to confirm, also I notice you carry the gasket in beige color for part # 2159060 or 2159061. I need the gasket in white. Do you have the correct part number? 2) As mention earlier about having no manual. How do you change the door gasket. Does repair instructions come with the gasket?
1 Answer George, Open the refrigerator door as far as possible, visually check the lower hinge side of the gasket to see if it is "rolled" over, rolled back or torn. Check and make sure there is nothing hanging over the door bin rails or on the refrigerator shelves causing the door to remain slightly open. Another check to make is, open the door to 90 degrees and lift up on the door or door handle, there should not be a lot of movement(approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch) and look around the door panel for metal powder or shavings, this would indicate the door "cups" have worn out, and you'll need to replace the door panel assembly. The door gasket 2159061, is a white or off white colored gasket, the beige (mist beige) is the color of the refrigerator. Read More...
