The Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It provides an air-tight seal between the refrigerator door and cabinet to ensure cool air is contained within the refrigerator compartment. The gasket is made of flexible yet durable materials designed to compress and flex numerous times without degradation as the door is opened and closed on a daily basis.

Causes of a bad door gasket can include cracking, tearing or warping of the material over time and repeated use. Improper closing of the door or excessive force when opening/closing can also damage the gasket.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Inability to maintain a consistent interior temperature
• Frost or moisture buildup around the edges of the door or along the top/sides of the refrigerator
• Warm air leaking into the refrigerator compartments
• The door not sealing tightly

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