This Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It provides the seal between the door and the refrigerator body to contain cold air inside.
Over time, the vinyl gasket can crack, warp, or lose its magnetism, compromising the tight seal. Common causes include normal wear, repeated opening/closing of the door, and improper cleaning.
Symptoms of a failing refrigerator door gasket include:
- Increased energy usage as cold air escapes
- The interior temperature rises, and food spoils faster
- Moisture buildup inside from air leaks
- Frost developing on interior refrigerator walls
- Gaps are visible when the door is closed
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
