The Gasket Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It secures the oven door gasket in place, ensuring a tight seal that prevents heat from escaping during cooking. This helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures and improves energy efficiency.
Causes of a bad oven gasket retainer can include wear and tear from repeated use, heat damage, or accidental impact that causes the retainer to break or become misshapen.
Symptoms of a bad oven gasket retainer include:
- The oven door gasket not staying in place
- Heat escaping from the oven, leading to uneven cooking
- Visible damage or deformation of the retainer
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
