The Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This gasket forms a seal around the refrigerator door, ensuring that cold air stays inside and warm air remains outside, maintaining the appliance's efficiency and keeping food fresh.
Causes of a bad door gasket can include regular wear and tear, mold or mildew buildup, and physical damage from repeated opening and closing of the door.
Symptoms of a bad refrigerator door gasket include:
- Warm air entering the refrigerator, causing it to run more frequently
- Condensation or frost buildup inside the refrigerator
- Difficulty keeping the door closed
- Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the gasket
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
