The French Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is designed to create a tight seal around the edges of the refrigerator's French doors, preventing warm air from entering and cool air from escaping. This gasket helps to maintain the internal temperature, ensuring energy efficiency and keeping food fresh for longer periods.

You should replace the French door gasket if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad gasket can include regular wear and tear, exposure to temperature fluctuations, or physical damage such as tears or deformities. A compromised gasket can lead to air leaks, increased energy consumption, and reduced cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad French door gasket include:

• Visible cracks, tears, or deformities in the gasket
• Condensation or frost buildup around the door edges
• The refrigerator door not sealing properly or feeling loose
• Increased energy bills due to inefficient cooling

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

• Used wherever a #8-18 x 5/8 screw is specified
• Replace if the original is missing, corroded, stripped, or will not tighten
• Symptoms: loose or rattling panels, gaps, or hardware that backs out

• Disconnect power; shut off gas/water before servicing

The Ice Chute Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, specifically designed to maintain the efficiency and functionality of the ice dispenser system. This crucial component creates a tight seal around the ice chute, preventing cold air from escaping the freezer compartment and blocking warm air from entering.  

Causes of a bad ice chute seal can include regular wear and tear, exposure to temperature fluctuations, and repeated opening and closing of the ice chute. A compromised seal can lead to air leaks, causing ice to melt or form frost around the dispenser area.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Chute Seal include:

• Frost or ice buildup around the ice chute area.
• Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to maintain its internal temperature.
• Moisture or water leakage around the dispenser, indicating air leaks.
• Difficulty dispensing ice, possibly due to frost or ice blockages.

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

This door stop limits the door's travel to its intended range, helping prevent overextension that can stress hinges or damage adjacent cabinetry. Replacing a worn or broken stop restores smooth, controlled door operation.

• Limits door opening/closing travel to protect hinges and alignment
• Helps maintain proper seal and fit by preventing overextension
• Replaces cracked, worn, or missing stop that allows excess movement
• Typical symptoms include door opening too far, a hard "clunk" at full travel, or visible damage to the stop

• Disconnect power; also shut off the water supply
• Support the door while servicing the hinge/stop to avoid strain
• Note the original orientation and transfer/secure fasteners firmly
• Open/close the door slowly to ensure smooth movement and proper stop action

The Door Closer is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component ensures that the refrigerator door closes smoothly and securely, maintaining the seal that keeps cold air inside and warm air out. The door closer helps to prevent the door from remaining ajar, which can lead to increased energy consumption and reduced cooling efficiency.

Causes of a bad door closer can include regular wear and tear, physical damage from repeated use, or misalignment. A malfunctioning door closer can result in the refrigerator door not closing properly, leading to cooling issues and higher energy bills.

Symptoms of a bad door closer include:

• The refrigerator door not closing or sealing properly
• The door not staying closed
• Warm air entering the refrigerator, causing the interior temperature to rise
• Increased energy consumption due to the door not sealing

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