Whirlpool Refrigerator Gasket & Seal

The Gasket-Door (black) is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. This rubber gasket forms a seal around the perimeter of the refrigerator door opening. It helps maintain interior temperatures and humidity levels.

Symptoms of a bad door gasket include:

• Inability to properly chill compartments and freezing performance issues  
• Excessive frost or moisture inside refrigerator sections
• Higher energy costs from inefficient temperature regulation
• Warm air infiltration indicated by higher than normal interior temps

Causes of degraded gasket performance typically include cracks, tears or compression set deterioration that compromise the sealed barrier over many years of use. 

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

This replacement door gasket creates a tight seal around the appliance door to help maintain temperature control and reduce moisture or frost buildup. It restores proper door sealing for more consistent performance and energy efficiency. What it does:

• Seals the door opening to keep conditioned air inside and outside air out
• Helps prevent frost, ice buildup, and moisture damage in the cabinet area
• Reduces temperature fluctuations that can cause food spoilage or inefficient operation
• Common symptom: visible gaps at the door edge, warm spots, or excess condensation

• Remove the old gasket and clean the sealing surface before installing the new gasket
• Soften or warm the gasket if needed for easier fitting
• Press the gasket into the channel evenly; ensure corners and edges are fully seated

This replacement gasket seals the appliance door to help maintain proper temperature and improve efficiency. It restores the original sealing surface to reduce leaks and keep the compartment at the intended temperature. What it does:

• Creates a tight seal around the door to help prevent air leakage
• Helps maintain consistent internal temperatures for proper performance
• Reduces frost buildup and energy loss caused by a compromised seal
• Addresses symptoms like warm spots near the door, excess frost, or cycling issues

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before starting any repair
• Remove the door or access panel for easier replacement
• Fit the gasket into the channel evenly; avoid stretching or twisting the material
• Inspect the mounting flange and surrounding surface for damage before installation

This door gasket seals a refrigerator door to maintain proper temperature and reduce moisture and frost buildup. Replacing a worn gasket restores a tight seal for more efficient cooling and helps prevent spoiled food. What it does:

• Creates an airtight seal around the refrigerator door to keep cold air in and warm air out.
• Helps reduce frost and moisture buildup inside the compartment.
• Can improve cooling performance and energy efficiency when the original gasket is cracked or deformed.
• Common symptoms: noticeable warm spots near the door, visible cracks or gaps, or excessive frost buildup.

• One door gasket (Apollo gray)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Remove the old gasket by loosening the door trim or retainer screws as required; install the new gasket evenly around the door.
• Avoid sharp tools that could damage the gasket; use a soft tool or hand pressure to seat the seal.

This evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to the refrigerator cabinet, helping maintain proper airflow and reducing frost buildup behind the back wall. It restores a tight seal for more reliable cooling performance. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to prevent air leaks that can cause frost or ice buildup
• Helps maintain consistent cold-air circulation in the freezer/refrigerator compartment
• Reduces chances of excessive frost, water pooling, or longer run cycles tied to air infiltration
• Supports normal defrost operation by keeping warm, moist air out of the evaporator cavity

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow the appliance to defrost if needed
• Remove the evaporator cover carefully; watch for sharp sheet-metal edges and retain fasteners
• Position gasket evenly around the cover mating surface; avoid stretching or creasing the seal
• If adhesive or clips are used, replace or reapply per OEM guidance to ensure a secure fit

This right-side evaporator cover gasket seals the evaporator cover to help prevent air leaks and reduce frost buildup, supporting consistent cooling and efficient refrigerator operation. What it does:

• Seals the evaporator cover to minimize warm air intrusion and reduce ice accumulation on the evaporator
• Helps maintain stable compartment temperatures for better cooling performance
• Reduces moisture and dripping that can cause water pooling inside the cabinet
• Can address symptoms such as increased frost on the evaporator, higher-than-normal temperatures, or water inside the fresh food/freezer area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove necessary interior panels or shelves to access the evaporator cover per the service manual
• Seat the gasket fully around the cover flange; inspect the cover and seating surface for damage or debris
