The Gasket-FIP is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, ensures an airtight seal around the door, preventing cold air from escaping and warm air from entering. This component contributes to the refrigerator's energy efficiency and cooling effectiveness, maintaining the optimal internal temperature to keep your food fresh longer.
Causes of a bad Gasket-FIP can range from normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or deformation due to improper cleaning methods or exposure to extreme temperatures.
Symptoms of a bad Gasket-FIP include:

- The door not closing as smoothly or firmly as it should
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
