The Refrigerator Door Gasket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This gasket forms a seal around the refrigerator door, ensuring that the cool air stays inside and the warm air stays out. It plays a critical role in maintaining the efficiency and performance of the refrigerator by preventing energy loss.
Over time, door gaskets can wear out, become brittle, or develop cracks and tears. Causes of a bad door gasket include regular wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or improper cleaning methods that degrade the material.
Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:
- Warm spots inside the refrigerator
- Excess condensation or frost buildup
- The door not sealing properly
- Increased energy consumption
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
Door gasket was torn Alan A. • Eugene , OR • April 04, 2017
The new gasket arrived in a box half the size of the gasket so the gasket was folded to fit into the box. I hung the new gasket up for a couple of hours and then just prior to installation used a hair dryer as per included instructions to soften the gasket and minimize minor wrinkles in the gasket.
The old gasket came out easily and the new went in easily. A 5 minute job in total.
