Description

The Door Gasket is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This white door gasket forms a resilient seal around the fridge door opening. Properly sealing the thermal barrier between interior compartments is essential for energy savings and food preservation. 

Causes of gasket failure include regular opening and closing that leads to compression over time. Cracks or breaks may occur from accidental impacts.

Symptoms of a leaking fridge door gasket include:

• Frost or condensation buildup along door edges  
• Cold air feeling when the door is opened
• Potential for cross-contamination of foods and odors
• Higher energy costs from inefficient sealing

Compatible models also include Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper units.
