Whirlpool 2188445A Refrigerator Fresh Food Door Gasket OEM Part

Since the fridge was an older model, it had screws behind the gaskets. First, I removed the freezer door, then I loosened the screws and removed the old gasket. I then placed the new gaskets, corner first, then worked my way around the door until all sides was done. I tightened the screws. For the lower door, I didn't remove the door but I removed all items from the door shelves. Loosened the screws, removed the old gasket, then placed the new gasket one corner and worked my way around the entire door. Some of the screws I needed to completely remove them so the gasket lip can fit into the groove. Then tighten the screws. Over all the project took about an hour to complete, not difficult at all but be patient while placing the gasket as not to tear them.

Removing the old gasket was easy, then I had to loosen the hex head screws to fit the new gasket into the outer panel groove. Easy fix took less than an hour.

We watched the video on how to do it. Ours was a little different because it had screws that had to be removed but it was really pretty easy. Before seeing the video we would have tried to replace it with the door still on, what a mistake. Taking off the door was definatly the way to go.

Removed old and replaced with new

By myself.
