Customer Questions and Answers for Door Gasket (Freezer) by Whirlpool

This freezer door gasket forms an airtight seal between the door and cabinet to keep cold air in and humid air out. Replacing a worn gasket helps maintain temperature, reduce frost, and improve efficiency. What it does:

• Seals the perimeter of the freezer door to prevent air leaks
• Helps maintain stable freezer temperature and proper freezing performance
• Reduces warm air infiltration that leads to frost and moisture
• Common symptoms of a failing gasket: tears or warping, frost along door edges, condensation around the door, poor sealing or door popping open, longer run times

• 1 freezer door gasket

• Disconnect power before servicing; open the door and clear the work area
• Warm the new gasket in hot water or with low heat to relax folds; clean the sealing surfaces
• If your model uses a screw-on retainer, loosen screws to remove the old gasket and install the new one evenly; if it press-fits, seat the gasket lip fully into the channel, aligning corners
• After installation, verify an even seal all around; adjust hinges/leveling if needed and use low heat to smooth waves; test with a dollar-bill test
